timeslice
timeslice defines the scheduling-timeslice interval.

Specify integer value or use integer formula expression. For more information, see Specifying Parameter Values.
The timeslice interval is the amount of time one process is
allowed to run before the CPU is given to the next process at the same
priority. The value of timeslice is specified in units of
(10 millisecond) clock ticks. There are two special values:
0 -1
timeslice imposes a time limit which, when it expires,
forces a process to check for pending signals. This guarantees that any
processes that do not make system calls can be terminated (such as a
runaway process in an infinite loop). Setting timeslice to
a very large value, or to minus 1, allows such processes to continue
operating without checking for signals, thus causing system performance
bottlenecks or system lock-up.
Use the default value for timeslice unless a different
value is required by system applications having specific real-time
needs.
No memory allocation relates to this parameter. Some CPU time is spent at each timeslice interval, but this time has not been precisely measured.
None.
