Assigning tasks to processors
Using a 16 core machine (2x8), I am performing some parallel processing speed testing. I am using "affinity..." to force certain tasks onto certain processors/cores, and this appears to be working fine. Assuming I set up a 14 task on 14 core run, is there any way I can PREVENT the myriad OS Windows tasks from running on these 14 cores? I want to restrict them to the remaining 2 cores.
Also, while instrumenting certain functions and their calling trees with the real time clock, I notice their duration is always a multiple of about 15.5 milliseconds. Is this a tunable parameter?
Thank you!
