Thanks for your help yet I would need some way of getting a kernel thread to
each process thus being able to modify my scheduler allowing multiple
threads to be placed on one of say 4 kernel threads, all corresponding to
one of the 4 processors. Thus I would be able in the end to create something
like a run queue with each thread running on a specific processor and always
to be binded to that processor to maintain cache affinity. Also it would be
nice to be able to control the number of threads allocated to each processor
so that I would control things like starvation and allow process migration.
Yet all at a user lever
Thanks
