[ANNOUNCE][RFC] PlugSched-6.1.5 for 2.6.14, 2.6.15-rc2 and 2.6.15-rc2-mm1

[ANNOUNCE][RFC] PlugSched-6.1.5 for 2.6.14, 2.6.15-rc2 and 2.6.15-rc2-mm1

[Peter Williams]

This version has a modified (hopefully improved) configuration mechanism.

A patch for 2.6.15-rc2-mm1 is available at:

<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-6.1.5-for-2.6.15-rc2-mm1.patch?download>

and a patch to upgrade the 6.1.4 versions for 2.6.14 and 2.6.15-rc2 to 
6.1.5 is available at:

<http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/cpuse/plugsched-6.1.4-to-6.1.5-for-2.6.15-rc2.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>/

here are my benchmarks:
http://stud.wsi.edu.pl/~piotrowskim/research/linux/plugsched/
(spa_ws, spa_svr and zaphod will be soon).

(athlon 2400 xp, 512 mb ram, 2.6.15-rc3-mm1)

I have some problems with interbench on that machine, ib stops on
ubuntu:/usr/src/tmp/interbench-0.29# ./interbench
loops_per_ms unknown; benchmarking...
.

All kernbench resoults should be +/- 02/12/2005 01:30 UTC.

Regards,
Michal Piotrowski
