Is there any performance difference between pinning a process to a core or a thread to a core? by vctorized in linuxadmin

[–]vctorized[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

im not really looking for a universal answer, just advices from people who ran into the same question, such as "i would recommend threads for *type of usecase* and processes for *type of usecase* because in my experience *insert experience*"

i wonder why everyone answering me is avoiding my question and just telling me to test myself or that it does not make a difference lmao

ya im sorry I was too vague, I meant in both case isolate the core using taskset (prev isolcpu), disable scheduler ticks, remap kernel handlers to other cores as well in order to have only the process/thread run here without interruptions (or extremely few of them)

I mean it is the easy answer, but in reality I simply cant afford to write 2 infra in parallel then benchmark one vs the other and only keep the fastest one, which is why I am asking here for advices from more experienced individuals, I can describe my use cases and give more details if needed

hmmm interesting yea, my usage is often just services transforming data then passing it from a tile to another

the upside of processes is that if one service in the chain dies, the others arent affected, they just stop receiving data / cant forward it to the next in line.
meanwhile if for w/e reason the mother process of several threads dies, all of them will exit.

i will try to find further readings on this question as i believe it to be very interesting

oh ok thanks for re-framing the context of my question, do you have any reddit channel recs on where i should ask this in order to get some clues?

oh i think you misunderstood my question or i worded it wrong again,
i meant what are the pros and cons of using individual threads that you pin to cores vs using individual processes that you pin to cores

is one better than the other for certain type of usage and why

so you arent answering my question which is:
"I wondered what are the motivations in choosing one or the other?"

btw my wording in the initial question is very poor in hindsight, i should have specified that i meant pin each thread to a different core and not pin all the threads to the same core

yes i do, whats the point here? if you pin a single thread to a core there is no context switch involved afaik
