Setting Parameters on Behalf of Other Applications

A privileged application can set scheduling parameters (timeslice and interleave) on behalf of other applications based on their PID.

The libnvrm_gpusched library provides a way to:

• Get a list of all TSGs
• Get a list of recent TSGs (i.e., a list of TSGs opened since the last query)
• Get a list of TSGs opened by a given process
• Get notifications when a TSG is allocated
• Get current scheduling parameters for a TSG
• Set runlist interleave for a TSG
• Set timeslice for a TSG
• Lock control (i.e., prevent other applications from changing their own scheduling parameters such as timeslice and interleave)

Library API is defined in nvrm_gpusched.h and sample code implements command line to control GPU scheduling parameters.
