windows - What is the performance cost of a Win32 process switch? -
i know cost of physical win32 thread context switch estimated @ between 2-8k cycles. estimates on cost of process switch?
instead of asking estimates, i'd test it. start program like:
#include <windows.h> int main() { (int i=0; i<1000000; i++) sleep(0); return 0; }
then create parent program spawns (say) 32 copies of this, , uses waitformultipleobjects
wait them finish. measure (wall) time start finish, , divide total number of process switches. of course, want run on relatively quiescent system meaningful result.
