[ANNOUNCE][RFC] PlugSched-6.5 for 2.6.20

From: Peter Williams
Date: Sun Feb 04 2007 - 21:22:26 EST


The main change in this version is a change to the scheduler driver interface to take account of recent changes to the load balancing code.

A patch for 2.6.20 is available at:

<http://downloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-6.5-for-2.6.20.patch?use_mirror=osdn>

Very Brief Documentation:

You can select a default scheduler at kernel build time. If you wish to
boot with a scheduler other than the default it can be selected at boot
time by adding:

cpusched=<scheduler>

to the boot command line where <scheduler> is one of: ingosched,
ingo_ll, nicksched, staircase, spa_no_frills, spa_ws, spa_svr, spa_ebs
or zaphod. If you don't change the default when you build the kernel
the default scheduler will be ingosched (which is the normal scheduler).

The scheduler in force on a running system can be determined by the
contents of:

/proc/scheduler

Control parameters for the scheduler can be read/set via files in:

/sys/cpusched/<scheduler>/
