• Ric does "taskset -c 4-63" for daq executables to avoid the cores where weka processes are running
• Ric also has lines like "ExecStartPost=/usr/bin/sh -c "/usr/bin/echo 4 > /proc/irq/369/smp_affinity_list" in tdetsim.service to set IRQ affinities.  This directs high-rate KCU interrupts to non-OS CPUs and avoids "soft lockup" issues.  The IRQ's (369 in this example) depend on the precise linux version.

Deadtime Issues

Default plan: high-rate detectors get L0Delay 100, low-rate detectors get L0Delay 0.
