In the RTX configuration, a system's processors are statically partitioned so that some processors are used exclusively by the RTSS and other processors are used exclusively by Windows.
Multiple processors can be configured for real-time activities. Processor affinity can be set for an RTSS thread, indicating a subset of processors that it can run on. Multiple RTSS threads can run concurrently on different processors. You specify how many processors should be dedicated to the RTSS subsystem and how many are dedicated to Windows. In general, it is a good practice to configure your system such that the total number of RTSS and Windows processors is equal to the total number of physical processors in the machine. This ensures that all available processors are used.
On dedicated systems, a fatal error in an RTSS program (such as stack fault or double fault on RTSS processor) will not cause a Windows blue or green screen. The RTSS subsystem will be disabled, but Windows and all non-RTX applications will work correctly unless some application tries to invoke an RTX call. The recommended procedure is to reboot your system.
