Re: [Xen-devel] select scheduling policy

[Ananth <cbananth@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
Thank you very much for your quick response. The link was very useful. Is there a way I can visualize or demonstrate the difference in system behaviour when two different schedulers are used? How can I go about it? Shoud I introduce probes into the scheduler code to print the context details ?

Also, in the link which you had sent, I saw that Xen offers an API to add a new scheduler. Will you be able to guide me with respect to that? I am trying to add a new scheduler to Xen but not exactly sure which place to insert my code. Is there a specific API as mentioned in the link?

Thank you

Regards
Ananth

scheduler can be manually configured at boot time. For Xen 3.0, you can specify "sched=credit" and "sched=sedf" in GRUB configuration file. Pls refer to http://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1187966&seqNum=4

Does it make sense?

 

Best Regards,

Hi,
Is it possible to manually configure which scheduler is to be used by Xen? Is it possible to configure it without having to recompile xen? Could you please throw some light on how to go about it?

Thank you

Warm Regards
Ananth
