title: Real-time processing with machines
body: <p>I will be writing an interface in C++ that controls a large CNC machine and it will run on Windows. For safety reasons, I would like this process to run on it's own core so that it can run the process in real-time. If it shares a core with Windows, all of the Windows processes will be dealt with before my process is. Basically, how do I make sure either my process is always in the front of the processing queue, or how do I designate a core to run my process and leave the other core to handle Windows? Also, is there any way of seeing that my programming is run in real-time. AKA, this core is processing this program, but that core is not doing anything because we told out program not to run on it. Any input would be helpful.</p>
