Or a higher priority thread becomes runnable, and it will preempt it.

I agree with what your saying Andrew. Perhaps if I
disable timeslicing I can ensure a thread will run
until completion (or until locality is no longer a
concern) before yielding the processor. I'd have to
make sure starvation doesn't occur though for some
threads.
This is possible though, right?
Thanks for the reply Nick.
I was under the impression it would be possible with
eCos, given other RTOSs (like RTEMS) support
heterogeneous multiprocessor systems.
Also, I thought the HAL was there to provide the
necessary abstraction between the hardware and the OS.
So having heterogeneous cpus

eCos SMP support is fairly simple,
It may make sense especially on a heterogeneous MP
platform, where you might want to bind certain threads
that do expensive work on more capable processors, and
other less demanding threads to cheaper cores.

Hi everyone,
Some pthread implementations allow binding a thread
for execution on a particular processor or a set of
processors (google pthread_pset_bind_np). Are there
plans to include this in future ecos realeases?
Thanks,
Ahmed
