Hi, everyone,
In first place, let me publicly thanks both of you (Info and Con) for your great work at fixing/tuning the 2.6 scheduler to its best.
Now that Ingo seems to be working again on the scheduler, I feel that Con and Ingo work is starting to collide. I have been testing Con's interactivity changes to the scheduler for a very long time, since it's first O1int patch and I must say that, for my specific workloads, it gives me the best end-user experience with interactive usage.
I just only wanted to publicly invite Con Kolivas to keep on working with the scheduler patches he has been doing and that have required a constant and fair amount of time from him. I don't know if Con patches do work as good for others in this list as for me, so I also invite everyone who is/has been testing them to express their feelings so we all can know what's the current status of the 2.6 scheduler.
As the last point, I do want to invite Ingo and Con to work together to fix things up definitively. I feel Con scheduler patches give better interactive results (at least for me) but still feels a little bit slow when the system is under heavy load and I try to launch new processes, like a new xterm, for example. On the other side, Ingo patch makes the system feel much more responsive under heavy loads when launching new processes, like opening a new konsole tab, but still suffers from jerkyness on interactive tasks, like the X server.
I think the more people working on the scheduler, the more probability we have of fixing/tuning the last pieces of code so we can enjoy a full enterprise-level, but well-behaved with interactive jobs, 2.6 scheduler.
Thanks for listening.
Felipe Alfaro Scheduler tester :-)
