POSIX::RT::Scheduler - POSIX Scheduler support functions
version 0.003
sched_setscheduler($pid, 'rr', 10);
This module allows one to set the scheduler and the scheduler priority of processes.
The following scheduler policies are supported:
other
This is the default non-real-time scheduler. It doesn't have a real-time priority
fifo
This is a real-time scheduler. A fifo scheduled process runs until either it is blocked by an I/O request, it is preempted by a higher priority process, or it calls sched_yield.
sched_yield
rr
Round-robin scheduling. This is similar to fifo scheduling, except that after a specified amount of time the thread will be
batch
A Linux specific scheduler, useful for keeping CPU-intensive processes at normal priority without sacrificing interactivity.
idle
A Linux specific scheduler that causes a process to be scheduled only when there's no other (non-idle scheduled) process available for running.
Get the scheduler for $pid.
$pid
Set the scheduler for $pid to $policy, with priority $priority if applicable. $priority must be within the inclusive priority range for the scheduling policy specified by policy. If $pid is zero, the current process is retrieved
$policy
$priority
Return the real-time priority of $pid as an integer value.
Set the real-time priority of $pid to $priority.
This function returns the (inclusive) minimal and maximal values allowed for $policy.
Yield execution to the next waiting process or thread. Note that if the current process/thread is the highest priority runnable real-time scheduled process/thread available, this will be a no-op.
