I would like to write a program that runs processes in a 'time-sliced' fashion, but I've been unable to figure out how to get a steady stream of interrupts. Is there any way I can do this in software? One idea I had was to use the 8253, but I couldn't figure out any way to generate interrupts from it. Being able to do this would also allow things like programmable interval timers, interruptable system calls, etc. Please respond via email; I'll post a summary.
