You shouldn't be able to select SMT if SMP is not enabled.
If SMT and SMP is selected, then the scheduler will recognise
the 2 processors as logical ones.
Also, as the hyperthreaded processor may schedule 2 threads in the 2
logical cpu's, and it may not necessarily be form the same process i.e.,
the 2 thread it schedules may be from the same or from the different
process.
Yes.
So, is there any way I can tell the scheduler (assuming I make the
scheduler recogonize my 2 threads..i.e., it knows their pid) to schedule
always my 2 threads @ the same time? How do I go abt it?
Use sched_setaffinity to force each thread onto the particular
CPU. Use sched_setscheduler to acquire a realtime scheduling
policy. Then use mutexes to synchronise your threads so they
run the desired code segment at the same time.
