This can be a terrible idea, but this is how you do it.
Logon as root. Then try to set your process to a very high priority, thus avoiding the scheduler.
One way is -- Use the nice command as a workaround. Also: in Linux there are ways to create realtime priority classes for processes. To determine the highest realtime priority you can set programmatically, make use of the sched_get_priority_max function. Also be aware: MAX_USER_RT_PRIO is the priority user space should ever run in. Period. See sched.h
If timing is such a big deal you should consider synchronization primitives: mutexes, semaphores, locking.
If your code is running as root you can use the nice() syscall to accomplish priority changes as well.
Note: If your process is having a problem it can bring the whole system to its knees.
Since you do not seem to know about process priority I would suggest that other mechanisms be tried first, before nice(). Meaning: Because you are asking this question, it would appear you may not be experienced enough to do realtime coding.

nice
nice(3) Library Functions Manual nice(3)Name
nice - set program priority
Syntax
int nice(incr)
int incr;
Description
The scheduling priority of the process is augmented by incr. Positive priorities get less service than normal. Priority 10 is recommended
to users who wish to execute long-running programs without flack from the administration.
Negative increments are ignored except on behalf of the super-user. The priority is limited to the range -20 (most urgent) to 20 (least).
The priority of a process is passed to a child process by For a privileged process to return to normal priority from an unknown state,
should be called successively with arguments -40 (goes to priority -20 because of truncation), 20 (to get to 0), then 0 (to maintain com-
patibility with previous versions of this call).
Environment
In any mode, nice returns -1 and sets on an error. On success, the return value depends on the mode in which your program was compiled.
In POSIX or System V mode, it is the new priority; otherwise, it is zero. Note that, in POSIX and System V mode, -1 can indicate either
success or failure; must be used to determine which.
