multithreading - What's the cost/overhead of thread context switch? -

-

what's cost/overhead of thread context switch? far know, there direct costs:

  1. saving , restoring context(generally,it includes general purpose registers , program counter)
  2. costs of thread scheduling(deciding thread next run)

and there maybe indirect costs, such as: if thread switched out arranged run in cpu later, might re-load variables main memory(or other cpu via coherence protocol), cache read miss might occur.

is there other indirect costs?

using subprocess , command ' gnome-terminal -e bash ' can open gnome-terminal desired (and have stick around). done either p=subprocess.popen(['gnome-terminal', '-e', 'bash']) or p=subprocess.popen(['gnome-terminal -e bash'], shell=true) but cannot close terminal using p.terminate() or p.kill() . understand, little trickier when using shell=true did not expect run problems otherwise. to terminate terminal , children (in same process group): #!/usr/bin/env python import os import signal import subprocess p = subprocess.popen(['gnome-terminal', '--disable-factory', '-e', 'bash'], preexec_fn=os.setpgrp) # here... os.killpg(p.pid, signal.sigint) --disable-factory used avoid re-using active terminal can kill newly created terminal via subprocess handle os.setpgrp puts gnome-terminal in own process group os.killpg() used send signal group
