pthread: how to avoid processor context switch..

1 New Member
Hi...
i am developing some multi-threaded application on linux (fedora) Intel SMP hardware.
i was wondering if it is possible to force a pthread to use always the same processor, in other words, it is possible to prevent the linux scheduler to switch the running threads between the processors? I checked the thread attributes, but nothing worked there.

Hope somebody can help me!
Best regards!

Hullo all, as the subject says Does pthread emit a sigchld signal on successful exit? I have an app which starts a thread in response to a button press in a GUI. I can't join the thread but I need to know when it completes. The time it takes for the thread to complete is variable and I don't want to have to poll the thread for completion. I would like to avoid having to use condition variables, so I thought setting up a signal handler to...

Hi, I am using FileStream's Async API: BeginRead/EndRead, upon completion callback execution I use the read data and call EndRead, Taking that in mind, I Wonder... does calling EndRead will cause a context switch? What is the kernel object used for blocking EndRead calls? Event and mutex cause a context switch even when the object is signaled and no wait is needed, usage of critical section prevent this switch from happening... what is the...

I've got an application that uses Pthread to do threading. Mostly Im using Condition Variables and the associated function calls: - pthread_cond_wait() - pthread_cond_signal() - pthread_cond_broadcast() My boss says we cant use Pthread because of licensing issues (LGPL) .. we can only use Native Win32 threading/mutex functions.

Hi, First question is: I want to assign 8 threads to 8 processors (must one to one), when I initialize the thread, does it guarantee that each CPU has one thread? or there can be some case such that 4 threads on one process and other 4 thread on 4 processors and 3 processors have no threads at all? Second question is: For instance, one processor has 4 jobs running, is it possible to shift

Hey, i am trying to develop a game, and I am using OpenGL and pthread. (on Ubuntu, so i also use the X library.) Now i have a problem. I have initialized OpenGL in the main thread, and i want to repaint 30 times every second (the usual framerate). Now i programmed a timer, which was able to wait for 30/1000 seconds. That happens in another thread, and after the delay (nanosleep, from the time.h header), it calls the paint() function. And...

Hi, I have a client/server application, using one thread/client approach. I see very high context switch/sec. What are the ways to reduce it? Each thread sleep longer in its endless loop if not reducing thread? On the same machine, I also run a mysql server. I can see same amount thread in mysqld, seems mysql is also using one thread/client. But its context/swith is much lower. How can I get same performance?

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
