NAME
Linux::Sys::CPU::Affinity - Perl XS extension for setupping CPU affinity
SYNOPSIS
use Linux::Sys::CPU::Affinity / :cpu :nprocs /;
my @cpus = (0, 10, 70 .. 80);
my $ca = Linux::Sys::CPU::Affinity->new(); # the same as below, but @cpus is empty
my $ca = Linux::Sys::CPU::Affinity->new(\@cpus);
my $is_success = $ca->set_affinity($pid);
my $cpus_array = $ca->get_affinity($pid); # from the PID
$ca->cpu_zero();
cpu_zero($ca);
$ca->cpu_clr($cpu);
cpu_clr($ca, $cpu);
$ca->cpu_set($cpu);
cpu_set($ca, $cpu);
my $isset = $ca->cpu_isset($cpu);
my $isset = cpu_isset($ca, $cpu);
my $res = $ca->cpu_equal($another_ca);
my $res = cpu_equal($ca, $another_ca);
my $cnt = $ca->cpu_count();
my $cnt = cpu_count($ca);
my $new_ca = $first_ca->cpu_and($second_ca);
my $new_ca = cpu_and($first_ca, $second_ca);
my $new_ca = $first_ca->cpu_xor($second_ca);
my $new_ca = cpu_xor($first_ca, $second_ca);
my $new_ca = $first_ca->cpu_or($second_ca);
my $new_ca = cpu_or($first_ca, $second_ca);
$ca->reset(); # the same as below, but @cpus is empty
$ca->reset(\@new_cpus);
my $cpus_array = $ca->get_cpus(); # from current set in object
my $new_ca = $ca->clone();

my $nprocs = get_nprocs();DESCRIPTION
This module allows you to pin any process by its PID to some CPU's group.
new
Constructor. It receives an array reference with CPU's number to be used in set creation. In case if the argument isn't specified, the empty array will be used.
According to the cpu_set(3) Linux man page, the first available CPU on the system corresponds to a cpu value of 0, the next CPU corresponds to a cpu value of 1, and so on. The constant CPU_SETSIZE (currently 1024) specifies a value one greater than the maximum CPU number that can be used in set.
The size of created set will be equal to the amoumt of available CPU cores. If code is failed to get that amount, then the CPU_SETSIZE constant will be used instead.
Returns an instance of class.
set_affinity
It receives the PID number and applies previously created set to the specified process. Returns -1 on error, otherwise returns 0. If pid is zero, then the calling thread is used.
See the method analog in sched_setaffinity(2) Linux man page.
get_affinity
It receives the PID number and gets the current settings of allowed CPUs for this PID. Returns an array reference with list of CPU number. If pid is zero, then the mask of the calling thread is returned.
See the method analog in sched_getaffinity(2) Linux man page.
reset
It receives an array reference with CPU's number to be used in set creation. In case if the argument isn't specified, the empty array will be used.
If the set had been set set before this method was invoked, then the old set will be destroyed, but it won't be applied automatically.
cpu_zero
Clears set, so that it contains no CPUs. New set won't be applied automatically.
See CPU_ZERO, CPU_ZERO_S in cpu_set(3) Linux man page.
cpu_count
Returns the number of CPUs in set.
See CPU_COUNT, CPU_COUNT_S in cpu_set(3) Linux man page.
cpu_isset
It receives the CPU number.
Returns nonzero if cpu is in set; otherwise, it returns 0.
cpu_set
Adds the received CPU in to the set. New set won't be applied automatically.
cpu_clr
Removes the received CPU from the set. New set won't be applied automatically.
cpu_equal
Returns nonzero if the two CPU sets are equal; otherwise returns 0.
get_cpus
Returns the array reference with CPUS's numbers which are presented in set. Please, keep in mind, that this set can be not applied yet to any PID. To apply this set you can use set_affinity method.
cpu_and
Stores he intersection of the sets $ca1 and $ca2 in the new set, and returns it.
cpu_or
Stores the union of the sets $ca1 and $ca2 in the new set, and returns it.
cpu_xor
Stores the XOR of the sets $ca1 and $ca2 in the new set, and returns it. The XOR means the set of CPUs that are in either $ca1 or $ca2, but not both.
clone
Returns the copy of original instance.
DESTROY
Destructor.
get_nprocs
Returns the amount of available CPU cores (see detail in get_nprocs(3) Linux Manual Pages).
