HP e3000 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 e3000 Kernel Threads is a POSIX 1003.1 Draft 10 implementation. 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.
