Whats the difference between pthread FIFO the solaris threads scheduling?

Remember, you’ve never had it ever before, so why now? (There may be a reason, but it had better be good.) Scheduling should normally be invisible, and forcing up to user-awareness is generally a bad thing. >For the moment, since this will only be a prototype, bound threads >will do but bo
