.In sa.h
.Ft int
.Fn sa_setconcurrency \
"int concurrency"
.\" ------------------------------------------------------------
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Fn sa_setconcurrency
2004-03-14 13:20:43 +03:00
is used to increase the number of scheduler activation virtual processors
used by the process.
.Fn sa_setconcurrency
2004-03-14 13:20:43 +03:00
increases the number of virtual processors, i.e., execution concurrency,
up to
.Fa concurrency .
However,
.Fn sa_setconcurrency
2004-03-14 13:20:43 +03:00
won't try to allocate more virtual processors than there are physical
processors on the system.
.Pp
2005-09-06 01:57:35 +04:00
Scheduler activation should be enabled by
.Fn sa_enable
beforehand.
.\" ------------------------------------------------------------
.Sh RETURN VALUES
On success,
.Fn sa_setconcurrency
2004-03-14 13:20:43 +03:00
returns the number of newly added virtual processors.
Otherwise, a value of \-1 is returned and
.Va errno
is set to indicate the error.
