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."

    Hey way OT, but what the hell...

    I totally agree, but do find it sad that Apple spent all the time and effort only to find that creating an OS was beyond them, so they chucked it all out and went for Unix. And Unix had been there for them all along.

    Ah well, a good lesson learned. Now if only somebody could work out how to teach Microsoft a similar one...
