RE: x64 thread scheduling bug?



Hi,

Would you please tell me what behavior you see on 32-bit Windows Server
2003? The core scheduler code should be the same.

Note the OS makes no guarantee that the N highest priority threads will run
at any time, only that the single highest will. If a thread gets preempted
if the starved low priority threads get boosted, you could see this
situation.

If you set the priority to realtime, you may lose machine response if your
threads are CPU hungry, but we don't expect you would see the problem
described here...


Thanks!

Best regards,

Gary Chang
