I am doing some research in parallel processing monitors and am looking for a way to force the scheduler to drop a process when it is spinning on a lock (a nice from within Fortran). I've considered just doing some io but there has to be a better way. I am not sure even io will do it as it may be writting to memory buffers anyways. I am running under bsd 4.3 unix. thanks for any ideas -rich -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rich Rinehart | phone: 216-433-5211 NASA Lewis Research Center | email: xxrich@alliant1.lerc.nasa.gov -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
