****Apologies if I have posted at the wrong mailing list *****
Hi,
I need some help in understanding the impact of cpu loading and multimedia characteristics. My current system is Pentium4, HT, 1GB Ram; i am also using LInux 2.6.18.1 kernel (vanilla). For stressing the cpu, I am using interbench which run a loop using asm volatile identifier and the multimedia player I am using is mplayer.
Here are my steps: 1. Fire Interbench in the background. Using top I see that the CPU utlization is 99.1%. 2. Fire mplayer with Interbench running.
Both of them have equal priority.
However, I am NOT seeing any impact of loading the cpu on the performance of mplyaer (i.e no dropped frames, lack of synchronization,...).
How can I load the CPU such that the scheduling time slice is insuffucent for mplayer to playout the video? To the mplayer the system thus appears "slow" ?
Thanks, IM
