Traditional processor scheduling mechanisms in operating systems are fairly rigid, often supportingonly one fixed scheduling policy, or, at most, a few "scheduling classes&qu...
This paper describes the scheduling framework for a new operating system called “Quest”. The three main goals of Quest are to ensure safety, predictability and efficiency of ...
In this paper, we present surplus fair scheduling (SFS), a proportional-share CPU scheduler designed for symmetric multiprocessors. We first show that the infeasibility of certain...
Abstract—Developing CPU scheduling algorithms and understanding their impact in practice can be difficult and time consuming due to the need to modify and test operating system ...
