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. -------------------------------------------------------------- Robosoft Technologies - Partners in Product Development _______________________________________________ darwin-kernel mailing list | darwin-kernel@lists.apple.com Help/Unsubscribe/Archives: http://www.lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/darwin-kernel Do not post admin requests to the list.
