HI all,
Please pardon me if this query is offtopic here.
I am working on a project which needs 100% CPU time when it is running. But
Mac OS X being a pre-emptive multitasking OS, my processes will be allocated
a CPU time slice after which it might be scheduled to a wait loop. (I hope I
am right here)
My question is how exactly Mac OS X (darwin) CPU scheduler functions? Can I
find some documents on this? I tried looking into Mach CPU scheduling but
little confused.
Also, what is the timeslice allocated to a process in normal condition? Is
there is any way to increase this timeslice (kind of burst mode)? One way I
could think is to have a Real time thread in my application. But will this
assure me continuous CPU time?
Any pointers is greatly appreciated.
TIA
Srinidhi.
