Yes. Timing is crucial to real-time applications. If a thread is marked as real-time but is not bound to an LWP, the thread may have to wait to be attached to an LWP before running. Consider if a real-time thread is running (is attached to an LWP) and then proceeds to block (i.e. must perform I/O, has been preempted by a higher-priority real-time thread, is waiting for a mutual exclusion lock, etc.) While the real-time thread is blocked, the LWP itwas attached to has been assigned to another thread. When the real-time thread has been scheduled to run again, it must first wait to be attached to an LWP.Bybindingan LWP to a real- time thread you are ensuring the threadwill be able to runwithminimal delay once it is scheduled.
