Some real-time chaff...

According to most kernel developers, this new scheduling class should be based on the Earliest Deadline First (EDF) real-time algorithm. The first draft of the scheduling class was called 'SCHED_EDF,' and it was proposed and discussed on the Linux Kernel Mailing List (LKML) <http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/9/22/186> just before the workshop. Recently, a second version of the scheduling class <http://lkml.org/lkml/2009/10/16/161> (called 'SCHED_DEADLINE,' to meet the request of some kernel developers) was proposed. Moreover, the code has been moved to a public git repository on Gitorius <http://gitorious.org/sched_deadline> . The implementation is part of a FP7 European project called ACTORS <http://www.actors-project.eu/> , and financially supported by the European commission.
