ABSTRACT:
A method for allowing a system administrator, application programmer, and/or program user to adjust the processor assignment function in a multiprocessor system. The system administrator controls the assignment function by defining certain system variables and flags. The application programmer can adjust the assignment function by causing allocation parameters to be passed in a system call before execution of the assignment function. To adjust the assignment function, the program user executes a system command that inserts similar allocation parameters into the program object code file stored in a file system on the multiprocessor system. The program executing the assignment function is responsive to the system variables and flags as well as the allocation parameters and performs the assignment function as it has been adjusted on a system, program or user level basis.
