Reading the GettingStarted.txt file, I saw what appeared to be two
different ways to cause a thread to execute periodically:
o pthread_setperiod_np()
o pthread_make_periodic_np()
Questions:
o Why two period-setting functions? What is the advantage of
one over the other?
o What are the units for the "period" in pthread_make_periodic_np?
Nanoseconds? This doesn't appear to be documented.
o Most of the examples only create the thread in
init_module, and specify attributes and scheduling params
in the function associated with the thread. Are there
any problems/consequences in doing the "thread initialization"
stuff in init_module?
Thanks,
