Right. There are lots of state of the art algorithms in Linux. If there was a published solution that was obviously much better, you can bet it would be implemented.
- rodgerd 13y agoYou'd like to think so, but some of the intransigence around scheduling and tracing would suggest that's not always the case.
- mtdewcmu 13y agoI don't follow the kernel discussions, but since scheduling algorithms always create winners and losers, you can imagine why there'd be resistance to change.
- rodgerd 13y agoIn the case of scheduling we have the bizarre situtation where we have pluggable IO schedulers for different workloads, but a blank refusal to allow the same for CPU scheduling.
