Subject[ANNOUNCE][RFC] PlugSched-6.1.2 for 2.6.13 and 2.6.14-rc3
This version contains minor modifications to the spa_ws scheduler to 
improve its interactive responsiveness.

A patch for 2.6.14-rc3 is available at:

<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-6.1.2-for-2.6.14-rc3.patch?download>

and a patch to upgrade the 6.1.1 version for 2.6.13 to 6.1.2 is
available at:

<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-6.1.1-to-6.1.2-for-2.6.13.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 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>/
