Linux Kernel Group Scheduling Feature of CFS

2016-03-03 Thread SUNITA
Hello,

Completely Fair Scheduler uses group Scheduling.  That is every
process gets an equal share of CPU time no matter how many threads are
there.

How to measure that CFS uses Group Scheduling Feature.  Which
performance tools like time, vmstat will help to prove this.

Regards,
Suniita

Hello,

I want to measure the battery usage of various  applications in linux.
I executed powerstat and powertop tools.  Are there any other tools
which indicate the power consumption by programs in linux.

I want to calculate the power used by various scheduling programs.

Also can Sysbench be an alternative to Mibench.

Regards,
Sunita

Dear Mulyadi,

Thank you for your reply.  I m proceeding with the modification in
CFS.  Hope this will be useful research.

Respected Sir/Madam,
I am trying to study the effect of Scheduler Policies on Energy
Consumption of Portable Device.

This will be achieved by modifying the current Completely Fair
Scheduler by changing the range of nice values from 40 to 100 and
adding a new scheduing policy.
CFS uses SCHED_RR, SCHED_FCFS, SCHED_OTHER, SCHED_BATCH Policy for
scheduling any process.  The idea is to insert a new scheduling policy
by modifying the header files.

Can this be a good topic to carry out research.I welcome any other
idea related Linux Kernel CFS.

Regards,
SUNIITA
