Hi all,
This is the finial report of GSOC 2014. My job during the summer is to
implement a lock-contention-aware scheduler, which removes the effect of
lock contention in Plan9 kernel. My work is done under the guidance of
Charles Forsyth. The codes are hosted on github (
https://github.com/slowly-code-a-world/enhanced-plan9). I have written a
simple technique report, which can also be found on github (
https://github.com/slowly-code-a-world/enhanced-plan9/blob/master/lock-sched-design.txt).
Please feel free to give comments if you are interested in the project.
It is hard to believe that the summer code is so amazing. When I first
joined the Plan9 community, I was worried about the task that assigned to
me. I did not know whether I can complete it in time. However, thanks to
all of you, especially Charles(my mentor) and Eric, to answer my (naive)
questions patiently, I overcome each problem that I encountered. Also, I
learned a lot to program real system and communicate efficiently with
people. Look forward to work with you in future.
Thanks, Yan
