The following program runs perfectly on FreeBSD 6.3 amd64 (with xorg
running
and without xorg running).
But on FreeBSD 7.0 amd64 and 7.1 beta amd64 (only with xorg running - xterm
- konsole - etc)
after a few seconds of working the thread "period_thread" hangs printing
only one time a second and even less. Moreover, the whole system becomes
slow
though "top" does not show a heavy load.
Tried on Intel E6600 and on Intel E1200 with the same result.
Tried with GENERIC kernel "out of the box" and with my kernel
configurations with the same result.
Tried with 4BSD and ULE schedulers with the same result.
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <pthread.h>
#include <unistd.h>
void* heavy_thread(void* q)
{
const size_t SIZE = 500;
volatile double vec[SIZE];
size_t cnt;
for(cnt = 0; cnt < 1000000; ++cnt)
{
size_t i;
for(i = 0; i < SIZE; ++i)
{
vec[i] = 0;
}
for(i = 0; i < SIZE; ++i)
{
vec[i] += i;
vec[i] -= i;
}
}
}
void* period_thread(void* q)
{
int i;
for(i = 0;;++i)
{
printf("period thread %i\n", i);
usleep( 50 * 1000 );
}
}
int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
pthread_t hs;
pthread_create(&hs, NULL, period_thread, NULL);
for(;;)
{
const size_t SIZE = 5;
pthread_t h[SIZE];
size_t i;
for(i = 0; i < SIZE; ++i)
{
pthread_create( &h[i], NULL, heavy_thread, NULL);
}
for(i = 0; i < SIZE; ++i)
{
pthread_join(h[i], NULL);
}
}
}
