Distributed Completely Fair Scheduler

Show all headers | View raw

Hi ,
I am working on developing a distributed process scheduling algorithm
for linux as a part of my master's thesis. Unfortunately I am a newbie
to kernel programming and the project which I am working on is
difficult for people who understand kernel scheduler well. Still I am
very passionate about learning new things. My approach for designing a
distributed linux kernel is to assume that there are no network
connections involved in the processes, there are no open files,etc to
make the job simpler. I am ready to take even more assumptions to get
a simple basic implementation of a disitributed linux process
scheduling algorithm.
Other design aspect which I was thinking was to run each process in a
container and migrate the process along with the container. To
schedule the processes across distributed system, I was thinking of
applying work stealing since it saves lot of communication costs and
it is scalable. What help I need is to help me to integrate this
distributed algorithm with the Completely fair scheduler algorithm.
The book by Robert Love does explain nicely about  Completely Fair
Scheduler code but I wish to understand all the intricacies of the
code. Any other design aspect is welcomed.
