Threads Scheduling 

HP 3000 Kernel Threads scheduling is handled through the dispatcher,
therefore each thread is visible to and known by the kernel.  Altering
the scheduling of one or more threads in a task is accomplished with the
same tools and methods used to alter the scheduling of any non-threaded
task.


NOTE  The HP 3000 Kernel Threads Service is a kernel based implementation
      of POSIX 1003.4a Draft 4 threads.  Individual threads created
      within a given task may use the same processor at any given time;
      the threads are independently scheduled by the kernel.  Therefore,
      a multi-threaded process can take advantage of the increased
      concurrency available on a multi-CPU machine.
