MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Not sure if this question concerns this group .. Writing a small application which creates schedules based on the ( Least Laxity First ) LLF algorithm . Not sure at what instants is the scheduler invoked ? i.e. the task with least laxity is selected at every time unit ? Also, if i take into consideration the context switch time , how would it effect the algorithm ? Thanks , vivekian
