Another question has surfaced related to my last question and summary on
vmstat for a GS140 running Tru64 4.0f. However this one is related to the
default time slice a process gets on the CPU. How can I change this time
slice to allow a potentially compute bound process more time on the CPU. I
don't want to change it to real time as there are other processes which also
need to benefit from a longer slice. But overall I have an application that
appears to read data in, crunch it around for an eternity in memory and then
spit it out - so it sounds like a potential candidate for a longer fix of
CPU.
Can I change this via sysconfig or dbx to patch the kernel. Or do I have to
get into using the class scheduler - if so is there a good article or
reference docs I can go to and get some detailed info.
Thanks,
Dave.
