2013-08-29add erl option to set schedulers by percentagesSteve Vinoski
For applications where measurements show enhanced performance from the use of a non-default number of emulator scheduler threads, having to accurately set the right number of scheduler threads across multiple hosts each with different numbers of logical processors is difficult because the erl +S option requires absolute numbers of scheduler threads and scheduler threads online to be specified. To address this issue, add a +SP option to erl, similar to the existing +S option but allowing the number of scheduler threads and scheduler threads online to be set as percentages of logical processors configured and logical processors available, respectively. For example, "+SP 50:25" sets the number of scheduler threads to 50% of the logical processors configured, and the number of scheduler threads online to 25% of the logical processors available. The +SP option also interacts with any settings specified with the +S option, such that the combination of options "+S 4:4 +SP 50:50" (in either order) results in 2 scheduler threads and 2 scheduler threads online. Add documentation for the +SP option. Add tests for the +SP option to scheduler_SUITE. Add tests and documentation for two existing features of the +S option: +S 0:0 resets the scheduler thread count and scheduler threads online count to their defaults, and specifying negative numbers for +S results in those values being subtracted from the default values for the host.
2013-06-11erts: Add the +sfwi system flagRickard Green
+sfwi Interval Set scheduler forced wakeup interval. All run queues will be scanned each Interval milliseconds. While there are sleeping schedulers in the system, one scheduler will be woken for each non-empty run queue found. An Interval of zero disables this feature, which also is the default. This feature has been introduced as a temporary workaround for lengthy executing native code, and native code that do not bump reductions properly in OTP. When these bugs have be fixed the +sfwi flag will be removed.

2013-01-08escript to accept emulator arguments when script file has no shebangMagnus Henoch
According to the documentation, if the second or third line in a script starts with %%!, then escript will use the rest of the line as emulator options. However, previously this was only the case if the first line started with #!. This change removes that check, and unconditionally uses the %%! line if present.

2012-10-16erts: Change ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS behaviourBjörn-Egil Dahlberg
Not setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS will now terminate beam immediately on a crash without writing a crash dump file. Setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS to 0 will also terminate beam immediately on a crash without writing a crash dump file, i.e. same as not setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS environment variable. Setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS to a negative value will let the beam wait indefinitely on the crash dump file being written. Setting ERL_CRASH_DUMP_SECONDS to a positive value will let the beam wait that many seconds on the crash dump file being written. A positive value will set both an alarm in beam AND a heart timeout for restart if heart is running. This is due to the change of 'heart' behavior when 'heart' is listening for a crash.

2012-08-14Make get/putenv and erlexec understand UnicodePatrik Nyblom
Putenv and getenv needs to convert to the proper environment strings in Unicode depending on platform and user settings for filename encoding. Also erlexec needs to pass environment strings in an appropriate way for kernel to pick up. All environment strings on the command line, as well as home directory, is now passed in UTF8 on windows and in whatever encoding you have on Unix, kernel tries to convert all parameters and environments from UTF8 before making strings.

Because of a copy-and-paste error in erlc.c, the -MP flag had the same effect as -MG. As a workaround, you had to pass +makedep_phony to enable the MP option. This patch makes -MP work as intended.

2012-05-10Remove stale code for hybrid heap and incremental GCBjörn Gustavsson
The hybrid heap emulator was last working in the non-SMP R11B run-time system. When the constant pools were introduced in R12B, the hybrid heap emulator was not updated to handle them. At this point, the harm from reduced readability of the code is greater than any potential usefulness of keeping the code.
