Adaptivepartition schedulers are a relatively new type of partitionscheduler, pioneered with the most recent version of the QNX operating system. Adaptive partitioning, or AP, allows the real time system designer to request that a percentage of processing resources be reserved for a particular partition group of threads and or processes making up a subsystem . The operating system s priority driven pre emptive scheduler will behave in the same way that a non AP system would until the system is overloaded i.e. system wide there is more computation to perform than the processor is capable of sustaining over the long term . During overload, the AP scheduler enforces hard limits on total run time for the subsystems within a partition, as dictated by the allocated percentage of processor bandwidth for the particular partition. If the system is not overloaded, a partition that is allocated for example 10 of the processor bandwidth, can, in fact, use more than 10 , as it will borrow from the spare budget of other partitions but will be required to pay it back later . This is very useful for the non real time subsystems that experience variable load, since these subsystems can make use of spare budget from hard real time partitions in order to make more forward progress than they would in a fixed partitionscheduler such as http www.ghs.com products safety critical arinc653.html ARINC 653 , but without impacting the hard real time subsystems deadlines. QNX 6.3.2 and 6.4.X have this feature.

Unreferenced date December 2009 In computer programming , the scheduler pattern is a software design pattern . It is a Concurrency computer science concurrency pattern used to explicitly control when thread software engineering thread s may execution computers execute single threaded source code code , like write operation to a file. The scheduler pattern uses an object that explicitly sequences waiting threads. It provides a mechanism to implement a scheduling policy , but is independent of any specific scheduling policy &mdash the policy is encapsulated in its own class and is reusable. The Read write lock pattern read write lock pattern is usually implemented using the scheduler pattern to ensure fairness in scheduling. Note that the scheduler pattern adds significant overhead beyond that required to call a synchronized method computer science method . The scheduler pattern is not quite the same as the scheduled task pattern used for real time systems.

The NOOP scheduler is the simplest I O scheduling I O scheduler for the Linux kernel . This scheduler was developed by Jens Axboe . Overview The NOOP scheduler inserts all incoming I O requests into a simple FIFO queue and implements request merging. The scheduler assumes I O performance optimization will be handled at some other layer of the I O hierarchy e.g., at the block device by an intelligent Host Bus Adapter HBA such as a Serial Attached SCSI SAS RAID controller or by an externally attached controller such as a storage subsystem accessed through a switched Storage Area Network ref cite web title Choosing an I O Scheduler for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and the 2.6 Kernel publisher Red Hat url http www.redhat.com magazine 008jun05 features schedulers accessdate 2007 08 10 ref NOOP scheduler is best used with solid state devices such as flash memory or in general with devices that do not depend on mechanical movement to access data meaning typical hard disk drive technology consisting of seek time primarily, plus rotational latency . Such non mechanical devices do not require re ordering of multiple I O requests, a technique that groups together I O requests that are physically close together on the disk, thereby reducing average seek time and the variability of I O service time. ref cite web title Switching IO Schedulers on runtime publisher url http www.linuxhowtos.org System iosched.htm accessdate 2007 08 10 ref Other I O schedulers CFQ Anticipatory scheduling Anticipatory scheduler Deadline scheduler Notes and references See http en.wikipedia.org wiki Wikipedia Footnotes for an explanation of how to generate footnotes using the ref and ref tags and the tag below div class references small style moz column count 2 column count 2 references div Linux stub Category Disk scheduling algorithms fr Noop scheduler ... more details

Deadline scheduler is an I O scheduling I O scheduler for the Linux kernel which was written in 2002 by Jens Axboe . Overview The goal of the Deadline scheduler is to guarantee a start service time for a request. ref Cite web title Deadline IO scheduler tunables author Jens Axboe work Linux kernel documentation url http www.mjmwired.net kernel Documentation block deadline iosched.txt accessdate 20 November 2011 date 11 November 2002 ref It does that by imposing a deadline on all I O operations to prevent starvation of requests. It also maintains two deadline Queue data structure queues , in addition to the sorted queues both read and write . Deadline queues are basically sorted by their deadline the expiration time , while the sorted queues are sorted by the sector number. Before serving the next request, the Deadline scheduler decides which queue to use. Read queues are given a higher priority, because Process computing processes usually block on read operations. Next, the Deadline scheduler checks if the first request in the deadline queue has expired. Otherwise, the scheduler serves a batch of requests from the sorted queue. In both cases, the scheduler also serves a batch of requests following the chosen request in the sorted queue. By default, read requests have an expiration time of 500 ms, write requests expire in 5 seconds. An early version of the scheduler was published by Axboe in September 2002. ref Cite news title A Deadline I O Scheduler date 26 September 2002 work Kernel trap blog url http kerneltrap.org node 431 accessdate 20 November 2011 ref The kernel documentation suggest this is the preferred scheduler for database systems, especially with Tagged Command Queuing TCQ aware disks, or any system with large numbers of disks. ref cite web title Linux IO Scheduler ... scheduling Anticipatory scheduler Noop scheduler References See http en.wikipedia.org wiki Wikipedia ... below Reflist Linux stub Category Disk scheduling algorithms fr Deadline scheduler ... more details

Scheduler Activations is a thread computer science thread ing mechanism that, when implemented in an operating system s process Scheduling computing scheduler , provides kernel level thread functionality with user level thread flexibility and performance. This mechanism uses a so called N M strategy that maps some N number of application threads onto some M number of kernel entities, or virtual processors. This is a compromise between kernel level 1 1 and user level N 1 threading. In general, N M threading systems are more complex to implement than either kernel or user threads, because both changes to kernel and user space code are required. Scheduler Activations was proposed by Anderson, Bershad, Edward D. Lazowska Lazowska , and Hank Levy computer scientist Levy in http www.cs.washington.edu homes bershad Papers p53 anderson.pdf Scheduler Activations Effective Kernel Support for the User Level Management of Parallelism in 1991.
