Anticipatory Scheduler in Kernel 2.5+ Benchmarked

Posted by timothy on from the knew-you-were-going-to-say-that dept.

gmuslera points to this article at KernelTrap comparing available benchmarks for schedulers available for the 2.5 kernel, with the 2.4's scheduler as a reference poin. "In some cases, the new Anticipatory Scheduler performs several times better than the others, doing a task in a few seconds instead minutes like the others."

    Cool. Let's see a beowulf cluster of these in sovjet russia..


    What the heck is a scheduler? What is it doing in a kernel, anyway?

  3. Anyone notice 2.4.18 is sticky? by KidSock · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    After upgrading from RH 7.2 to RH 7.3 w/ 2.4.18 I noticed X hangs for literally several seconds (possibly 5 seconds) if anacron kicks off some significant disk activity like when updating the slocate database. Anyone know if this is a known problem?
