PSET - Processor Sets for the Linux kernel
http://isunix.it.ilstu.edu/~thockin/pset/
Announcing pset/sysmp for Linux/SMP !!
--------------------------------------------------------
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 6.4 kernel) for Linux. This enables users to determine which
processor or set of processors a process may run on. Possible uses
include forcing threads to seperate processors, timings, security (a
`root' only CPU?) and probably more.
It is focused around the syscall sysmp(). Some documentation (leeched
from SGI's) has been included. It still needs a fair bit of work, but it
should be functional at this stage.
IMPORTANT
---------
Anyone who downloaded the preliminary version made available in the last
few days, PLEASE get the latest. All kernel patches included have been
changed.
DISCLAIMER
----------
All standard disclaimers, blah blah blah. This is not guaranteed to be
useful, or to even work. There is no warrantee, not even that of fitness
for a purpose. For all I know, your system will blow up. It hasn't
happened yet, but it could. It's not my fault.
