The newest version of Pset (against 2.2.12 still) is now available. This is version 0.65, and can be found at http://isunix.it.ilstu.edu/~thockin/pset/. Attached is the original announcement. If this is interesting to you, please use it, and let me know how it goes! Thanks, Tim PSET - Processor Sets for the Linux kernel http://isunix.it.ilstu.edu/~thockin/pset/ Announcing pset/sysmp for Linux/SMP !! -------------------------------------------------------- This project has undergone a complete, from-scratch rewrite since v0.5x. If you are using a version earlier than 0.60, I encourage you to get to at LEAST 0.60. If you are using anything less than the latest, I reccomend you get the latest :) The goal of this project is to make a source compatible and functionally equivalent version of pset (as defined by SGI - partially removed from their IRIX kernel 6.4 and up) for Linux. This enables users to determine which processor or set of processors a process may run on. It is focused around the syscall sysmp(). This function takes a number of parameters that determine which function is requested. Functions include: * binding a process/thread to a specific CPU * restricting a CPU's ability to execute some processes * restricting a CPU from running at all * forcing a cpu to run _only_ one process (and its children) * getting information about a CPU's state * creating/destroying sets of processors, to which processes may be bound A secondary goal is to provide a library of routines that will act as wrappers for sysmp() and provide source-compatibility with other UNIX API's which do the same thing. Currently targeted are processor_bind() + family and bind_to_cpu() + family. Tim [EMAIL PROTECTED] DISCLAIMER ---------- All standard disclaimers, blah blah blah.
