The SS07 course evaluation for the Syslab course will take place during the next lecture (2007-06-04). I would like to recommend to be there to express your opinion on the course so that we will be able to analyze your feedback and improve the lesson.

New schedulers for linux kernel

Currently there is a vivid discussion about a new scheduler that should replace the current O(1) scheduler of the linux kernel.

Two different approaches are in the queue:

Rotating Staircase Deadline cpu scheduler policy [RSDL]
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.ck/6462

Modular Scheduler Core and Completely Fair Scheduler [CFS]
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/515644
Both of these schedulers try to be fairer and cleaner than its predecessor (as usual). The idea seems nice and I’m looking forward to meet them ‘in the wild’ ;)
