AFAIK, most features of BVT (proportinal CPU share based on weights especially) are included in SEDF except the time warping feature. But SEDF can also enforce abosolute CPU share for each domains via period/slice mechnism, which is similar as that in the broken atropos scheduler. This is a kind of hard guarantee which BVT can't provide.

The new sedf scheduler has been in the xen-unstable reopository for a
couple of days now. As it may become the default scheduler soon, any
testing now is much appreciated!


I'm curious (sorry if this has already been discussed on the list, I
couldn't find it in a google search). Note that I'm not defending
either BVT or SEDF, I just wanted to know the reasons for the switch
from BVT as default :)
