Luigi Rizzo implementált egy új, súly-alapú processz ütemezőt (scheduler) a FreeBSD-stable -hez. A scheduler portolása a FreeBSD-current -hez jelenleg is folyamatban van.A "Proportional Share scheduler" elérhető az alábbi linken:
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ps_sched.20020719a.diff
A patch a legújabb -STABLE rendszerekehez készült, valószínűleg működig a 4.4-nél újabb rendszereken. Összesen 3 file került módosításra: kern_synch.c, kern_switch.c és a proc.h, plusz egy one-line változás a kern_exit.c-ben.)
Rizzo letesztelte a patchet egy diskless gépen, és a teszt szerint túlélt egy X sessiont, Netscapet, xterm-et, stb. Ennek ellenére NEM ajánlott roduktív rendszereken. Egyelőre tesztelési fázisban van.

Subject: NEW SCHEDULER available (was Re: proposed changes to kern_switch.c and kern_synch.c)
Hi,
as promised, a first version of the Proportional Share scheduler
that we developed is available at
http://info.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ps_sched.20020719a.diff
These are for a recent -STABLE (i think any version from 4.4 should
work; the only 3 files modified are kern_synch.c, kern_switch.c and
proc.h, plus a one-line change to kern_exit.c).
I have tested it a little bit on a diskless system, and it seems
to survive running a full X session with the usual set of xterm,
netscape etc. while i do a "renice" of the processes and even switch
back and forth between schedulers. But do not trust this yet for a
production system!
The sysctl variable kern.scheduler controls the scheduler in use.
kern.scheduler=1 (default) selects Proportional Share
kern.scheduler=0 selects the Feedback Priority ("classic BSD")
You can switch between the two schedulers by changing the value of
the sysctl variable.
To change the "weight" associated to a process, use the "nice" and
"renice" commands. As usual, positive values (+1..+20) mean the
process will get a smaller share of the CPU, negative values (-1..-20)
will get a larger share. The actual weights (which control the
relative fraction of CPU cycles given to each process) are assigned
through a lookup table which maps the value to the range
1 ... 100 ... 1000 (min, normal, max weight).
The "old" scheduler (Feedback Priority) should be as robust and
stable as always, whereas there are still a few things to cleanup
in the Proportional Share scheduler, namely:
* I have not looked in detail at the SMP case, so do not run
it on an SMP kernel;
* given that there are no priorities, processes woken up by a
tsleep() are not guaranteed to run before all processes
with p_priority >= PUSER; however, they are given a shorter
deadline so they are likely to run first.
* RTPRI and IDLEPRI processes do not have yet any special treatment
(they all end up together with normal processes; this is trivial
to fix, i just haven't had time to look at that).
Have fun, and please if you use it let me know of any bugs and
possibly suggestions to adapt it to -current.
cheers
