there is any possibility that I can set in this application an affinity so that the processor binds it to core 2 for instance.Is this possible to do in an application that runs than under root? Or is this just possible after the application started with using the taskset tool?
View 1 RepliesDoes anyone know if there is a way to "unset" processor affinity? So if you bind a process to just one proc, but then want to tell the OS to revert to normal behavior? Also, when you bind a process to a processor, can other processes use that process or does it have exclusive usage of that proc?
View 1 Replies View RelatedAm investigating processor affinity theory and practice, am somewhat surprised at the paucity of information on something that has been a part of many Windows Enterprise type applications for more than a decade and although I haven't investigated would assume is supported by big iron UNIX.What it is Processor Affinity is the *NIX terminology for "soft" assigning a process and its threads to a specific processor core. On multi-tasking machines and particularly those which run heavy loads it can be useful to "advise" the Scheduler to isolate/assign heavy loads to a core separate from other processes. I also have a specific situation where I would like to run more than one instance of a specific app, but cannot when sharing the same processing environment.
What I've found so far By default, any and all processes are assigned an affinity that permits running on any and all available processors.The taskset utility can be used to modify the affinity for any process, which means that once an application/service/process has been launched, only then can the affinity be modified.It seems that the RH platform may also have a utility called tuna which might provide some tuning capabilities in addition to setting affinity but does not seem to be in the SuSE repositories and I cannot find source.Is there a reference or utility that can launch an application with a specified processor affinity?
I have some questions.First, how can i obtain a process execution time ( after it terminated)??? Second, in a multi-core system like SMP how can i run different processes on different cores explicitly? i.e. how can i assign a process to a specific core?

View 3 Replies View RelatedThe situation is that I have an MPI-parallel fortran program. I run it and it's distributed on N processors, and each of these processes must call an external program.
This external program is also an MPI program, however I want to run it in serial, on the processor that is calling it, as if it were part of the fortran program. The fortran program waits until the external program has completed, and then continues.
The problem is that this external program seems to run on any processor, and not necessarily the (now idle) processor that called it.
how I can call the program and ensure it runs only on this processor?
Extra information that might be helpful:
If I simply run the external program from the command line (ie, type "/path/myprogram.ex <enter>"), it runs fine. If I run it within the fortran program by calling it via
CALL SYSTEM("/path/myprogram.ex")
it doesn't run at all (doesn't even start) and everything crashes. I don't know why this is.
If I call it using mpiexec:
CALL SYSTEM("mpiexec -n 1 /path/myprogram.ex")
then it does work, but I get the problem that it can go on any node.

I have a question about using taskset. I am using Core 2 Quad box. I set the default affinity to CPU 0, by doing the following:
Edit: /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

That has been working fine for me, but from searching the web, I found some suggestion about adding an additional line:
/bin/taskset -p 1 $$
What does that line do?

The algorithm for reading and writing disk blocks use the algorithm getblk to allocate buffers from the pool. In the algorithm getblk, if the kernel removes a buffer from the free list, it must raise the processor priority level to block out interrupts before checking the free list. Why ?Where can i find the C implementation of the above algorithm for buffer allocation in the linux source code ?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have written a simple script which has to find required patterns from a bunch of files ( where each file is around 2 GB each,which contain the output of seq 1 10000000000000) on an 8 core machine.I am current forking 6 child processes which run simultaneously on 6 cores of the processor & have to search for the required pattern in 6 different files & inform the parent process when a pattern is found using a PIPE.
The problem is,when a child process is done reading a text file looking for a pattern,it is becoming a zombie process.It exits cleanly when i put a $SIG{CHLD} = "IGNORE"; in the script.Can any one tell me whats going on & how do i improve the communication between child and parent processes?

I'm trying to package a Qt application using debuild. However, I can't figure out how to make qmake generate a correct Makefile.
The main problem is that the binary doesn't get put into ./usr/bin inside the .deb.
So dh_shlibdeps always fails and I get the following:
Code: Select alldpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${shlibs:Depends}
dpkg-gencontrol: warning: unknown substitution variable ${misc:Depends}
The resulting debian package then has an empty "depends" field and no binary.
I used the Qt Hello World example application to start.
I changed debian/rules (generated by dh_make) so that it runs qmake as follows:
Code: Select all#!/usr/bin/make -f
# -*- makefile -*-
# Sample debian/rules that uses debhelper.
# This file was originally written by Joey Hess and Craig Small.
# As a special exception, when this file is copied by dh-make into a
# dh-make output file, you may use that output file without restriction.
# This special exception was added by Craig Small in version 0.37 of dh-make.
# Uncomment this to turn on verbose mode.

Is there a somewhat straightforward way to get the name or pid of the application that is under the mouse's cursor? What I'm trying to do: This is just a "what if" at this point, I would like to run some script that would obtain the name/pid of any application that the mouse cursor is on, and use xte to assign different functions to different mouse buttons. For instance, assign a given button the Forward or Back function when the cursor is on a browser, but assign a scroll-left or scroll-right to the same button when it's on a spreadsheet. Is there any way to accomplish this, say, in a script that I could run at startup as a background process?
