Abstract

This paper describes the Resource Based Scheduler (RBS), a modification of the Linux 2.6 kernel scheduler. RBS provides an optimized scheduler which makes more intelligent scheduling decisions based on the current resource needs of the processes to be scheduled. We report on the design of RBS and the lessons we have learned by implementing a subset of its design.
