Process for control of alocacao of system resources in a multiprocessor system and apparatus for controlling the alocacao resources of processors in a multiprocessor system.

摘要

An apparatus for allowing a system administrator, application programmer, and/or program user to adjust the processor assignment function in a multiprocessor system. The system adiministrator controls the assilgnment function by defining certain system variables and flags (201). The application programmer can adjust the assignment function by causing allocation parameters to be passed in a system call before execution (205) of the assignment function. To adjust the assignment function, the program user executes a system command that inserts similar allocation parameters into the program object code file stored lin a file system on the multiprocessor system (203). The program executing the assignment function is responsive to the system variables and flags as well as the allocation parameters and performs the assisgnment function as it has been adjusted on a system, program or user level basis (206).
