one of the following values.

RR Round robin launch policy. Under this policy, successive child processes are

launched in a round robin fashion across the other locality domains in the system

relative to creating thread.

LL Least loaded launch policy. Under this policy, child processes are launched on the

least loaded node in the system at the time of creation.

FILL Fill ﬁrst launch policy. Under this policy, successive processed are launched on

the same locality domain as their parent until one has been launched on each pro-

cessor in the locality domain. At that point, new processes are created on the

next locality domain.

PACKED Packed launch. Under this policy, successive processes are launched on the same

locality domain as their parent. A different domain is never selected.

NONE No special policy. The default HP-UX launch policy is used.

as for the

Also, thread policies can only be speciﬁed on commands launched from the command line of

mpsched. The option can be used with the -P, -l, and -c

options.
