Since I'm primarily interested in embedded Linux and since mostembedded Linux systems are uniprocessor systems, my testing focusedexclusively on uniprocessors systems. I tested both patches on a2.4.17 ...

The Linux 6.6 kernel introduces the new Earliest Eligible Virtual Deadline First (EEVDF) scheduler that will replace the existing Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) that has been the primary CPU ...

The paper, titled “The Linux Scheduler: a Decade of Wasted Cores,” was authored by a sextet of researchers from the University of British Columbia and four other institutions.

Says Linus Torvalds Linus Torvalds says that claims by C++ game developer Malte Skarupke that his spinlocks experiments had discovered the Linux kernel had a scheduler issue were garbage. Torvalds ...

A new set of Linux scheduler features would allocate CPU time fairly among the users on the system. The Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS) was merged for the 2.6.23 kernel. One CFS feature which did ...

Although Linux has captured the imagination of embedded-device designers worldwide, commercial operating systems continue to dominate real-time applications. With a multiuser architecture, a ...

The next release of the Linux kernel will apparently gain an all-new scheduler said to deliver better desktop scheduling. Ingo Molnars CFS (“completely fair scheduler”) implements a fair ...

Threading is hard . I'd never claim to be an expert at it, but I'm learning.<BR><BR>You dind't say what language you were using, but if you're using c++, I'd suggest you take a look at some of the ...

In addition, the philosophy of the Linux scheduler is that it should be mostly right all of the time rather than perfect much of the time. Even though different workloads exhibit different behaviors ...

The 2.6 Linux kernel introduced a new task scheduler whose execution time is not affected by the number of tasks being scheduled. This is known as an O (1) scheduler in big-O algorithmic notation, ...
