ULE Now The Default Scheduler On FreeBSD

Posted by timothy on Sunday January 25, 2004 @09:41AM from the ule-stole-my-prom-date dept.

Dan writes "FreeBSD's Jeff Roberson says that the ULE scheduler has entered into its probationary period as the default scheduler on FreeBSD. He says that if all goes well, it will remain the default through the rest of FreeBSD 5.* releases. He is requesting you to switch over and test it. The ULE scheduler was designed to address the growing needs of FreeBSD on SMP/SMT platforms and under heavy workloads. It supports CPU affinity and has constant execution time regardless of the number of threads."

So, the OpenBSD guys are wasting their time rewriting software that already exists in a free form, and you're questioning the benefit of the GNU/KFreeBSD project?
The point is : They don't see GPL as free enough. And since OpenBSD, like other BSD, is not just a kernel, they have to care about licenses for all program shipped with their OS. Go check OpenBSD Copyright Policy
