| |
This version contains minor bug fixes and improvements to the zaphod scheduler including changes to the default configuration parameters that take into account the results of tests using Con Kolivas's new (and very useful) interbench benchmark tool.
A patch from Plugsched-5.2.3 to PlugSched-5.2.4 for 2.6.12 is available at:
<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-5.2.3-to-5.2.4-for-2.6.12.patch?download>
and a full patch for 2.6.13-rc6 is available at:
<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-5.2.4-for-2.6.13-rc6.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 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>/
