Perhaps you can contribute to this discussion (concerning SCO vs linux performance differences with semget):
No but if you've got a good test case using gettimeofday() rather than time
so you get high precision time data file a bug in bugzilla.kernel.org as I
imagine Ingo Molnar and a few others might be interested.
High performance Linux code uses futex locks rather than sys5 locks but it
would still be nice to know if there really is such a big difference and why

So here is yet another version using gettimeofday(). Don't bother posting the benchmarks here, unless they are significantly different. But prepare them for bugzilla:

Control two exclusively shared resources(semaphore). The two resources are two files. The producer will write even numbers to one file, and odd numbers to another one. The consumer respectively reads from each file until it gets 5 even numbers and 5 odd numbers.

If I create a semaphore and then I fork a number of child processes then all the child process use that same semaphore.
Since the process address spaces are different rfom each other then how all the child process are able to access the same semaphore?

I was asked to add this piece of code to a c program which I will execute through the shell:
for(long i = 0; i < NITER; i++)
{ sem_wait( &sema);
count++;
sem_post( &sema); }
I didn't get it, which is the critical section ? if it's "count++" how would a thread wake up in order to enter it... (1 Reply)
