Hi all I stumbled upon this site through google via the "Linux
2.6.23 Kernel Benchmarks" article. I'm a EE graduate student and
moderate Linux user.  As part of a semester requirement I was to
choose an OS topic to write about. I chose the (retrospectively
poor topic of) comparing the new Linux CFS scheduler to other OS
schedulers. I say retrospectively poor because at this point in
my knowledge, I don't really know the best way to go about
comparing them. I only chose the topic on a whim after seeing
the slashdot article on CFS. My intent was to source others'
benchmarks and discuss the results, but I've found that there
really aren't that many comparisons of current OS schedulers.
And on that note, if I'm wrong, and anyone has any hints on
googling please let me know.  So my reason for posting is this:
does anyone with experience have any help on how to go about
efficiently comparing major OS schedulers (Linux vanilla/CFS,
Solaris, MacOS, XP, etc)? This isn't supposed to be a "help me
do my homework" questi
