Scheduling algorithms, deadlock handling

[Jeff Dykstra]

Hello,

I am new to this forum and HP-UX. Can someone point me to where I find some basic information on how HP-UX handles process scheduling, deadlock handling, starvation, etc?

TIA,
Jeff

The HP-UX DDK discusses the MP primitives exported by HP-UX. HP-UX kernel does not do any explicit deadlock detection. It provides a way to avoid such deadlocks, i.e. Each spinlock has a lock order associated with it.

For can find all such information regarding HP-UX at the following site.
