Programming with Kernel Threads

Threads Scheduling

HP e3000 Kernel Threads scheduling is handled through the

dispatcher, therefore each thread is visible to and known by the kernel.

Altering the scheduling of one or more threads in a task is

accomplished with the same tools and methods used to alter the

scheduling of any non-threaded task.

NOTE

The HP e3000 Kernel Threads is a POSIX 1003.1 Draft 10

implementation. Individual threads created within a given task may

use the same processor at any given time; the threads are

independently scheduled by the kernel. Therefore, a multi-threaded

process can take advantage of the increased concurrency available on a

multi-CPU machine.
