[comp.sys.m88k] process switch times

newton@gumby.cs.caltech.edu (Mike Newton) (01/04/91)

Has anyone computed the time it takes to do a context switch (process
switch) under DG/UX 4.31 (or 4.30)?  IE, assuming:
	[1] standard daemons w/ no activity (ie: just the process slots
		are used, not net activity....)
	[2] 3 runnable process
	[3] everything fits into available physical memory (no paging...)

I'm curious what c_s_t(processor_speed) is.

Thanks,

ps: there are one or two more additions to the 88k area on csvax.
pps: GWM 1.7 beta ports to DG/UX extremely easily.  I'll put the 
     makefile on csvax as soon as UUCP is up again.
