The example that i gave was a very basic interface for the scheduler, though my ultimate aim would be to create an interface that would allow sharing at multiple levels, like assigning 40% share for Real-time processes or child process getting its share from the parent.
As far as the fairness of the scheduler is concern, VTRR is achieve pretty good fairness over a bounded period of time as compared to various other proportional share algorithm. Thanks for the vkernel example.... :) Mayur College Of Computing Gatech ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Luciani" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, July 3, 2008 2:59:23 AM GMT -08:00 US/Canada Pacific Subject: Re: Proportional share scheduler > I would appreciate if anyone has suggestion regarding the cli for this > scheduler.

If the scheduler can reliably distribute that amount, it would be killer together with vkernels. Its very very nice in a VM (vkernel) to be able to set up hard network/memory/cpu/disk quotas.
