ULE scheduler
The sched_ule
scheduler provides a number of advanced
scheduler features not present in
sched_4bsd(4),
the traditional system scheduler. These features address SMP and interactivity
and include:
- Thread CPU affinity.
- CPU topology awareness, including for hyper-threading.
- Per-CPU run queues.
- Interactivity heuristics that detect interactive applications and
schedules them preferentially under high load.
The following sysctls are relevant to the operation of
sched_ule
:
- kern.sched.name
- This read-only sysctl reports the name of the active scheduler.
- kern.sched.quantum
- This read-write sysctl reports or sets the length of the quantum (in
micro-seconds) granted to a thread.
The sched_ule
scheduler first appeared in
FreeBSD 5.1.
