[Cbe-oss-dev] Few questions

[Nicolas Morey-Chaisemartin]

Hello everyone,

As said in a mail earlier, I'll be working on RT kernel on the Cell for 
my MSc project.
For my report, I would like to know few things about the way Linux deals 
with the SPE:
- How are mutexes/semaphores implemented yet?
- How is scheduling on SPEs working? Is it preemptive/non-preemptive? 
How about context switches (fully saved to main memory?) ?

Thanks in advance
