Processes are divided into groups and each group receives guaranteed CPU time allocation proportional to its weight. The standard scheduler is used to schedule processes within a group. It can be used to divide CPU time fairly among users or for more flexible CPU time allocation on busy compute servers. Kernel patch, documentation and a testing utility can be found at: http://people.cornell.edu/pages/bdd2/fairsched/ New since v0.15 (there have been a few releases since then, I don't announce every one on the list): - added support for large number of nodes in the scheduling tree - made maximum number of nodes configurable via sysctl - a process can now move itself to a new node - removed fairsched_getpnid system call - gratuitous name change: PNid is now FNid in /proc/<pid>/status - beautified /proc/fairsched - fixed a couple more SMP races, now even more stable on SMP ;-) - fixed a couple of minor bugs - ported to 2.3.99-pre3, system call numbers changed on alpha, i386, sh - updated testing utility Regards, Borislav - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
