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.
