Dear William, Amazing, i m awed by your rigorous treatment of the topic :-) and as you said I ran a test of that program, which proved that you are correct!! the program ( mine one) is taking 10.2% to 11% of CPU!! which proves that its in blocking mode. and I am not aware of O_NONBlOCK and mmap.. I will read it up and see but for that do you recommend and preferred resources? and thanks for the code I will run it and let you know. but there are few hick ups: 1. My *uname -a out put is : *Linux beaglebone 3.8.13-bone72 #1 SMP Tue Jun 16 21:36:04 UTC 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux
2. your kernel has preemption i.e.. it is RT patched / enabled: mine is not!! *So are you using official Debian image & patched it or r you using some other image?* 3. I dont know how to turn off systemd? can you guide me!! Once again thanks a LOT!! :-) On Wednesday, September 30, 2015 at 11:11:34 AM UTC+5:30, William Hermans wrote: > > So, I got bored, and decided to do some "screwing around".
