I am trying to measure the performance of a process. I have widely ranging performance measurements on small bit of single-threaded deterministic code that should perform the same every time.I would like to set exclusive use of a processor for the process in order to test if the performance fluctuation is due to scheduling of other processes, context switches, etc. I don't care about affinity because I don't care which core it runs on. What I do care about is that my single-threaded process has exclusive access to the core it runs on, whichever core that is. Is this possible? I don't think 'nice' does what I want because that just lets me set a priority. Some other task with the same priority may share processor time with my process. I also don't care if my process has to wait in a queue. I just want to ensure that once it starts running, it is not interrupted.Thanks
