SCHED_YIELD(2) Linux Programmer's Manual SCHED_YIELD(2)NAME
sched_yield - yield the processor
SYNOPSIS
#include <sched.h>
int sched_yield(void);
DESCRIPTION
A process can relinquish the processor voluntarily without blocking by calling sched_yield. The process will then be moved to the end of
the queue for its static priority and a new process gets to run.
Note: If the current process is the only process in the highest priority list at that time, this process will continue to run after a call
to sched_yield.
POSIX systems on which sched_yield is available define _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING in <unistd.h>.
RETURN VALUE
On success, sched_yield returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1b (formerly POSIX.4)

SCHED_YIELD(2) Linux Programmer's Manual SCHED_YIELD(2)NAME
sched_yield - yield the processor
SYNOPSIS
#include <sched.h>
int sched_yield(void);
DESCRIPTION
sched_yield() causes the calling thread to relinquish the CPU. The thread is moved to the end of the queue for its static priority and a
new thread gets to run.
RETURN VALUE
On success, sched_yield() returns 0. On error, -1 is returned, and errno is set appropriately.
ERRORS
In the Linux implementation, sched_yield() always succeeds.
CONFORMING TO
POSIX.1-2001.
NOTES
If the calling thread is the only thread in the highest priority list at that time, it will continue to run after a call to sched_yield().
POSIX systems on which sched_yield() is available define _POSIX_PRIORITY_SCHEDULING in <unistd.h>.
Strategic calls to sched_yield() can improve performance by giving other threads or processes a chance to run when (heavily) contended
resources (e.g., mutexes) have been released by the caller. Avoid calling sched_yield() unnecessarily or inappropriately (e.g., when
resources needed by other schedulable threads are still held by the caller), since doing so will result in unnecessary context switches,
which will degrade system performance.

Hello,there
here is my code about semphore, when calling it in the program,sometimes result in the deadlock of semphore, but I can not find it, anyone can point some bugs and give some suggestion?

we developed a set of system V semphore interface for our application, in general, all of them work normal, seldom cause the deadlock. Here are some important sem_wait and sem_post interface, pls point some suggestion to fixed the deadlock problem:

Hello everyone,
I created a test program for pthread priority set. Here's the code, very simple, 60 lines only.
I've tried this prog on my Fedora 13(on vbox), and on my 6410 arm linux 2.6.36. Both the same result.
Both environments are using root privileges.

Hi,
To begin with let me explain my system and then I will come to the problem.
System:
My program forks 2 child processes. These child processes further start 2 user level threads (pthreads) and 2 kernel level threads (kthread). All these threads issue various system calls. I am using... (7 Replies)

I'm trying to install libcvd libraries (running Ubuntu 10.10) but get errors, I guesss its saying I miss dc1394v1 and ffmpeg. Altough when looking in synaptic manager I appear to have ffmpeg and libdc1394 (version 2). When I do ./config, after all the checks, I get:
