[...] Oracle are targeting Solaris at Banks. They don't seem to want a Solaris community. They seem to want your money, and only want you using Solaris 11 Express if you're developing for it, evaluating it, or intend to buy it. Not sure if it's so much greed as control freaks. Or else they

2010-10-26 Thread dengning
Hi gurus, I wrote a multithread application by pthread and bind the threads with specific cpu cores by processor_bind(), now I am wanting to confirm if the binding is effective. I wonder if there is a system call to return the current core_id of a certain thread? I failed to get the answer by

Look at the PBIND_QUERY flag in processor_bind(2). The manpage suggests (though it's not as clear as it could be IMO) that it will return the current binding into the processorid_t structure pointed to by the 4th parameter. On Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 8:43 AM, dengning dunning2...@gmail.com wrote:
