Programming :: How To Bind Thread To Specific Thread In Multithread Application?
Dec 25, 2010I am going to use "pthread_setaffinity_np" to bind a thread to a specific core. My application has two threads. I have used mutex to assign a specific id to each thread and then bind that thread to a core different from another core. but it seems that the os assigns both thread to one core.What should I do to bind each thread to a specific core?

Apr 15, 2010I am looking for the quickest way to do multiple searches for different files.Here is the scenario: I want to search for various icons one by one in a script. Preference is for the gnome icon theme.
The echo piped into grep part seems to take a long time. Is there a quicker way of doing this?I do not want to use slocate, sqlite or the like since that will require admin privileges to update the database and/or extra dependencies.
Programming :: Unix Programming - Single Thread Server Can Support Exactly 2 Clients At Once
Sep 28, 2010A simple TCP based chat server could allow users to use any TCP client (telnet, for example) to communicate with each other. For this question you should consider a single process, single thread server that can support exactly 2 clients at once, the server simply forwards whatever is sent from one client to the other (in both directions). Your server must not insist on any specific ordering of messages as soon as something is sent from one client it is immediately forwarded to the other client. As soon as either client terminates the connection the server can exit
View 4 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Determine What CPU Thread Is On?
Jul 2, 2010Is there a library/system call that will return to me what CPU core a thread of execution is running on? I've looked for a bit on the net already and also in /usr/include and couldn't find one.
getcpu() and sched_getcpu() are two that I found, but when I include the appropriate header files (linux/getcpu.h, and sys/sched.h respectively), gcc says getcpu.h doesn't exist and the linker complains it cannot find the implementation in sched.h.
I'm sure I'm doing something really stupid or overthinking...
What I am doing is running an OpenMP application and specifying a list of cpu cores to run on with GOMP_CPU_AFFINITY. I want to make sure that each core is getting the same number of threads.
**UPDATE**
It seems that this code works, but only with glibc >= 2.6, and my machine has 2.5:
Code:
#define _GNU_SOURCE
#include <stdio.h>
#include <utmpx.h>
int main( void )

Programming :: Thread Scheduling And Signalling
Mar 23, 2010I have a program which is uses sigaction to register for a SIGIO signal (for incoming data on a fd) with an appropriate event handler. I also create a new detached thread 'B' that does some work with the received data. Normally the thread B runs properly. But when my event handler is called (because a there is new incoming data), after the event is handled, the thread B is not called immediately. There is a noticeable delay of the order of many seconds before it is scheduled again .During this delay, my program is doing nothing.
What am i doing wrong? Is there someway i can run thread B as soon as the event is handled (and assuming no other work is to be carried out)?

I have a process and two threads running in it.

Programming :: Thread Stack Using Pthread_attr_setstackaddr()?
Sep 22, 2010When I set the stack base address of the child thread using the POSIX library function "pthread_attr_setstackaddr()", I am unable to access the memory contents of its parent. The data-structures that are created on the HEAP of its parent using malloc() are either getting destroyed or unaccessible when moving to the context of the child thread. These data-structures are being passed as an argument to the child thread.Even if I make these variables global then also it is not working.pthread_attr_setstacksize(tattr, ...);stackbase = (void *) malloc(...);pthread_attr_setstackaddr(tattr, stackbase);But when I create the child thread without setting its stack base address using that pthread_attr_setstackaddr(), then it is able to access the parent's memory contents.

View 4 Replies View RelatedProgramming :: Which Is Scheduling Algorithm Which Will Make Thread O?
May 4, 2011I have a timer thread, and when it expires, it sets a flag. The only problem is, if any higher priority thread comes in between, then the timer is not expired in real time.Thus i want to set a highest priority to my thread. Now, i know 2 algos, which can make my thread in real time are: SCHED_FIFO and SCHED_RR.
So, here are my queries: 1) Which scheduling algo is best suited for this purpose? 2) Is it guaranted to work in real time if i use that algo (you suggest in 1) and set the max_priority by getting the maximum settable priority for that particular algorithm using, int sched_get_priority_max(int policy);

Programming :: Posting A Better Solution To A Closed Thread?
Jul 27, 2010Rather than get in hot (or even slightly-above-comfortable temperature) water for reviving a closed (ca. 2007) thread without moderator permission or acquaintance of the OP personally or by proxy, I'll post this alternate solution (approach?) along with one positive real-world example illustrating how mine is easier to write and is equally reliable, if not altogether better. The thread is here. Their solution:
Code:
if [ "$myfilesize" eq "0" ];then echo "$file: the file size is zero"; else echo "$file: the file size is NOT zero"; fi (and this hangs on the output of a stat -c %s command). "Hangs" is probably a most appropriate word. The two outputs, using two different stat options, the same file, and three marginally-different command-line syntaxes I just tried gave me these: First, using their approach, I got this:
Code:
tjsfa070929-094.jpg.error: the file size is NOT zero
Even though stat gave me this
Code:
>> stat -c %s $file
[Code]...
From where I sit, getting the file type string instead of an integer, which can be equally (if not often more) accurate, makes for an easier time of setting the conditional and, maybe only in terms of a few ticks, a faster script from start to finish. I think my method is better, and proven so to the limits of my knowledge and ability here in this OP.

Programming :: Create A Separate Thread For Program Which Basically Polls Using The Read Command?
Sep 28, 2010I'm trying to create a separate thread for my program which basically polls using the read command. However this new thread seems to block the main thread, anyone know why this could happen.

which calls
/*New threads start function */
void *GenericEventThread()

I've used pthread_self to check that a new thread is being created, so why is the while loop in one thread blocking the main thread from running, I haven't used the join function anywhere in my code.
Programming :: Rules To Set The Pthread Stack Size - Compute The Memory Needed By Each Thread?
Jul 26, 2010i have an application that launches several pthreads, i know that the default size used by Linux is 8Mb for each pthread. However i would like to optimize the total memory usage by my application by decreasing the default stack size of each pthread to the needed resources. My questions:

- How to compute the memory needed by each thread.
- Is the malloc call inside a thread counted from the stack size of the same pthread?
General :: What's Quickest Most Portable VM?
Feb 25, 2010Well, I want to be able to run some Linux in a VM at my school (on WinXP systems), via a USB stick.Two problems:
- Computers are mediocre
- Will be on many of them
I tried portable virtualbox but it starts very slow and runs slow without the guest additions. It just doesn't work right.What I need is a quick, portable VM that starts up quick and runs decently; I'm not expecting all that much from a USB stick but at least smooth cursor movement.I would like one that allows me to save changes on the virtual HDD, as opposed to a LiveCD style VM.
