It seems to me that we're talking about, basically, changing the scheduler from being process-centric to being KSE-centric, right? I think that means that, excepting possible per-process limits, the scheduler wouldn't care what process was up, and it would be keeping KSE run-lists, wait-lists, etc, right? I'm wondering if there might possibly be some way to preserve some level of simplicity by keeping ksid'd like we keep pid's now, so that things that juggle a 32 bit entity keep on doing that, although perhaps under another name. > > > julian > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include C programming, Electronics, 213 Lakeside Dr. Apt.
