Hi!
I have a question concerning current implementation of SMP. Is it possible
to assign specific process (or thread) to specific CPU-thing (not
necessarily the actual CPU, perhaps other cpu-kind resource)? Something
like Sun's LWP...
Also, I have very vague understanding of how the scheduler assigns time
slices of both processors to different processes. I think I saw (using
'top') that the same process was being scheduled to run on CPU0 as well as
CPU1 during consecutive runnable periods...
Here's why I'm asking: I have one process which must be as near real-time
as possible, and the second process processes it's output (which is
low-priority task). So I'd be glad to monopolize one CPU full-time when I
need it, and run the rest of the OS on the other one. Is it possible? Will
it be possible? :-)
Thanks.
Andrzej Bialecki
