Intel Chief Evangelist Comments on Linux Scheduler

ByeByeWintel writes "James Reinders is Intel's Chief Evangelist for Intel's Software Development Products. In a recent interview on Devx.com he stated: 'If I could get ONE wish fulfilled would be for OS scheduling to focus on processes, and not threads, for scheduling. And demand that processes manage their scheduling of threads ... There is a lot of opportunity for operating systems to offer these types of control in the 'running of applications' interfaces. I'd like an OS to let me specify the 'world' my application runs in (which processors, how many, etc.) These interfaces are available in Windows at run time (the task manager will let you adjust where a running task can go).'"

I believe the idiom is "shot on sight." Physician, heal thyself.

people who use slang contractions in text (i.e. "'cause") should be shot on site
Right after people who can't tell the difference between "on sight" and "on site".

Won't someone PLEASE think of the beers?

DeBeers are evil and should be wiped off the face of the Earth. Not to be confused with DaBears. They just lose to the Packers all the time.
