multi-card X: hardware neeeded
Hi Folks, I'm working on makeing multi-card X work again on OpenBSD. I'm making progress, but in order to finish this project, I could really use some hardware. What I need is a PCI graphics card (genuine PCI, not AGP or PCIe) that is well supported by X, preferable something supported by the ati/radeon driver or the mach64 driver. If you have something like that collecting dust, please mail me off-list. Thanks, Mark

Re: OpenBSD Culture? - dual boot info
This reply is late. my apologies beforehand. He shouldn't boot from an extended partition. Windows can go on a primary. He can make the system rescue disks. OpenBSD could be next. Linux would be last. If he needs swap then it would be: windows, install linux with swap, add dphys swapfile and edit out the swap from /etc/fstab, use openbsd to utilize the space and eliminate swap, and then edit grub to boot all three. Again, my apologies for veering off of the subject of OpenBSD. --- On Sun, 4/18/10, ...

Re: Generic Discuss about CPU resource scheduling
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortest_job_next "Shortest job next scheduling is rarely used outside of specialized environments because it requires accurate estimations of the runtime of all processes that are waiting to execute." From what I've read the scheduler tries to keep a statistic about how much CPU time a job used during its slice and then predicts the future behaviour. This also has some ideas about ...

Re: Generic Discuss about CPU resource scheduling
If I am not mistaking, SJF is usually desired while dealing of realtime processes. Those processes have a deadline associated by definition, that is the reason being realtime. Kristof

Generic Discuss about CPU resource scheduling
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I'm reading Operating System Concepts (7th Edition) , Written by Abraham , Peter & Greg. In chapter 5.3 , it talks about a schedule algorithm: SJF SJF means shortest jobs schedules firstly. To compare different process , thy use a process running time. e.g P1 takes 6 secs to run P2 takes 3 seconds P3 takes 10 secs Then we should put those tasks in array like this: P2 => P1 => P3 That looks much reasonable , but ...

Re: Generic Discuss about CPU resource scheduling
I don't think there is a way the operating system can detect how long is going to last some particular process. Not even the compiler can do this. This makes me remember of Turing's proof where there is no way to compute if a program will terminate at some point or not. Just my two cents. Luis.

Re: Generic Discuss about CPU resource scheduling
You cannot tell in general, that's a basic result from CS. But you can measure previous runs and do predictions based on that, in some cases at least. I hope I'm not answering a homework assignment...

Re: Generic Discuss about CPU resource scheduling
In general you cannot predict, however there are many (long) jobs with very predictable times to completion: sorts, merges, most anything that processes thousands of records in one batch operation. (and ties up various resources for the duration --- thein is the gotcha) I would not trust counting instructions, loops, subroutine calls as being usefully predictive of execution time. The fun thing about scheduling algorithms is that any one of them is usually theoretically capable of giving the ...

Re: OpenBSD Culture? - dual boot info
@ Zachary fwiw - I have Windows XP, Linux, and OpenBSD running on one machine using two drives, but it should be possible with one. I would recommend installing Windows first, or if already installed, shrink the partition using Ranish partition manager or Parted Magic. Create two new primary partitions and an extended partition. Install OpenBSD on primary partition 2, GRUB on a small primary partition 3, and Linux on the extended partition at the end of the disk. Use the chainloader ...

Re: ACPI so close I can almost taste it...
I'm curious what you mean by "work fine for me." I have a T400 and followed your suggestion. My machine suspends and resumes most of the time with X and the network up and running. However, once resumed, one of the processors is in ~100% interupt state and reboot doesn't work properly. It will sync disks and look as though it powers down (black screen) but the system's power light is still on and the machine does not resond to anything but a hard shutdown. Also, after one suspend/resume, it ...
