HP-UX and Solaris offer system call mechanisms by which a calling process can hint to the kernel to NOT preempt it (or to lengthen its time slice). This is commonly referred to as preemption control.

It's provided in HP-UX via mpctl() and in Solaris via schedctl_*() calls.

Is this available via AIX? Oracle can make use of this facility if it finds that it's available on the OS in question, and I want to see if such an option exists on my AIX database.

Thanks in advance. Received on Wed Jan 09 2002 - 02:26:15 CST
