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."

Re:Does everyone know about GNU/KFreeBSD? by Anonymous Coward · 2004-01-25 11:21 · Score: 2, Insightful

uhhhh. why not just use FreeBSD? I mean, seriously, does every piece of software have to have GNU/before it? If you like the kernel so much, why do you assume the rest of the userland must suck? Any GNU tools you specifically need you can install from ports or packages anyway. Projects like this GNU/KFreeBSD are just a waste of developer time to make someones ego feel better. well, whatever.
