5. Procesi in niti The process has a virtual memory address space, information (such as a base priority), and an affinity for one or more processors. Threads are the unit of execution scheduled by the kernel’s dispatcher. Each thread has its own state, including a priority, processor affinity, and accounting information. A thread can be one of six states: ready, standby, running, waiting, transition, and terminated.

9. Kernel — razvrščanje The dispatcher uses a 32-level priority scheme to determine the order of thread execution. Priorities are divided into two classes. – The real-time class contains threads with priorities ranging from 16 to 31. – The variable class contains threads having priorities from 0 to 15. Characteristics of XP’s priority strategy. – Trends to give very good response times to interactive threads that are using the mouse and windows. – Enables I/O-bound threads to keep the I/O devices busy. – Complete-bound threads soak up the spare CPU cycles in the background.

10. Kernel — razvrščanje (nadaljevanje.) Scheduling can occur when a thread enters the ready or wait state, when a thread terminates, or when an application changes a thread’s priority or processor affinity. Real-time threads are given preferential access to the CPU; but XP does not guarantee that a real-time thread will start to execute within any particular time limit. (This is known as soft realtime.)

11. Programmer Interface — Process Management Process is started via the CreateProcess routine which loads any dynamic link libraries that are used by the process, and creates a primary thread. Additional threads can be created by the CreateThread function. Every dynamic link library or executable file that is loaded into the address space of a process is identified by an instance handle.

12. Process Management (Cont.) Scheduling in Win32 utilizes four priority classes: -IDLE_PRIORITY_CLASS (priority level 4) -NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS (level8 — typical for most processes -HIGH_PRIORITY_CLASS (level 13) -REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS (level 24) To provide performance levels needed for interactive programs, XP has a special scheduling rule for processes in the NORMAL_PRIORITY_CLASS. – XP distinguishes between the foreground process that is currently selected on the screen, and the background processes that are not currently selected. – When a process moves into the foreground, XP increases the scheduling quantum by some factor, typically 3.

13. Process Management (Cont.) The kernel dynamically adjusts the priority of a thread depending on whether it is I/O-bound or CPU-bound. To synchronize the concurrent access to shared objects by threads, the kernel provides synchronization objects, such as semaphores and mutexes. – In addition, threads can synchronize by using the WaitForSingleObject or WaitForMultipleObjects functions. – Another method of synchronization in the Win32 API is the critical section.

14. Process Management (Cont.) A fiber is user-mode code that gets scheduled according to a user-defined scheduling algorithm. – Only one fiber at a time is permitted to execute, even on multiprocessor hardware. – XP includes fibers to facilitate the porting of legacy UNIX applications that are written for a fiber execution model.

17. Razvrščanje pri Windows 2000 Windows 2000 schedules at the thread granularity. Priority-driven, preemptive scheduling system – The highest-priority runnable thread always runs. – Time-sliced, round-robin within a priority level. Windows 2000 uses 32 priority levels – System level (0), Variable levels (1-15), Real-time levels (16-31) From Win32 point of view – Processes are given a priority class upon creation: » Idle, Below Normal, Normal, Above Normal, High, Real-time » Changeable by Task Manager. – The individual threads have a relative priority within the class: » Idle, Lowest, Below-Normal, Normal, Above Normal, Highest, Time-Critical
