Announcing pset/sysmp for Linux/SMP !!
--------------------------------------------------------
This project has undergone a complete, from-scratch rewrite.
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 kernel 6.4 and up) 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, and probably more.
It is focused around the syscall sysmp(). This function takes a number of
parameters that determine which function is requested. Functions include:
* binding a process/thread to a specific CPU
* restricting a CPU's ability to execute some processes
* restricting a CPU from running at all
* forcing a cpu to run _only_ one process (and its children)
* getting information about a CPU's state
* creating/destroying sets of processors, to which processes may be
bound
IMPORTANT
---------
Anyone who downloaded any other version made available in the past,
PLEASE get the latest version. This is a COMPLETE REWRITE :)
