| |
This version updates the staircase scheduler to Con's version and makes modifications to the interactive bonus mechanisms in spa_ws and zaphod to use interactive sleepiness instead of ordinary sleepiness.
A patch for 2.6.15-rc1 is available at:
<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-6.1.4-for-2.6.15-rc1.patch?download>
and a patch to upgrade the 6.1.3 version for 2.6.14 to 6.1.4 is available at:
<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-6.1.3-to-6.1.4-for-2.6.14.patch?download>
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, nicksched, staircase, spa_no_frills, spa_ws, spa_svr 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>/
