>DESCRIPTION</H2
><P
>These functions are non-portable RTLinux extensions.  On SMP machines they allow a thread to be scheduled on a specific CPU.
The RTLinux scheduler
does not try to guess what thread belongs to what CPU. The default
processor is the processor where a thread is created,
but RTLinux really wants the
application to tell it where to run threads.</P
><P
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>pthread_attr_setcpu_np</TT
> modifies the thread attribute object <I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>attribute</I
> so that the created thread would be scheduled on the CPU with id <I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>cpu</I
> (as displayed in <I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>/proc/cpuinfo</I
>).  The thread attribute object <I
CLASS="EMPHASIS"
>attr</I
> first has to be initialized with <TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>pthread_attr_init(3)</TT
>.</P
><P
><TT
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>pthread_attr_getcpu_np</TT
> fills the location pointed to by <TT
CLASS="PARAMETER"
><I

> with the CPU id from the attribute structure.</P
