CPU shielding
CPU shielding is a practice where on a multiprocessor system or on a CPU with multiple cores, real-time tasks can run on one CPU or core while non-real-time tasks run on another.
The operating system must be able to set a CPU affinity for both processes and interrupts.
Kernel space
[edit]In Linux in order to shield CPUs from individual interrupts being serviced on them you have to make sure that the following kernel configuration parameter is set:
- CONFIG_IRQBALANCE
