[EDIT]
now vivid-sources also on sourceforge.net:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/vivid-sources
[/EDIT]

Maybe someone will be interested in trying a Peter Williams runtime cpu scheduler elevation tool called Hydra

I`ve add some ohter patches to this also.Hydra is based on others single prior array schedulers like staircase , spa and ebs, and it can be control at runtime via GUI or mode string in /proc.
It`s simply just for fun

list is here

how does this campare to staircase, nicksched, etc as far as performance?

fallow · Posted: Tue Jul 13, 2004 9:34 am Post subject:

It`s single priority array scheduler so it`s similar to staircase/spa/ebs.
scheduler latency is also similar to the staircase .
Hydra might be slightly less efficient than each of the constituent schedulers would be on its own in some aspects.I don`t feel this much

Overall performance is depends of scheduling policy that are You using at the moment of course .
Some people has opinion that Staricase with his add-ons patches from ck is more agrresive than this.

Up and running.

The gui scheduler selection tool is pretty cool. If only more of the /proc interface had this kind of user-friendliness.

Anyway, great work.

Tx and I also like this GUI. Initials and Troughput Bonus settings are good also

; at Con Kolivas site are new preempt_timing and truncate_inode_pages_latency_fix patches also

greetings

Hydra 2.0 is out and 2.6.8_rc2 also

I`ve updated Hydra from 1.5 to 2.0 , GUI is new also .patches are the same as in previous version , but for 2.6.8_rc2 now.

screenshot of the new control GUI v1.2 is here -> http://amnesty.scene.pl/~sqward/fallow/3.jpg

in 2.0 version - staircase interacitve mode is off by default , so it can be switched on by basic script below.

there are total basic scripts to set the cpu scheduling policy at startup :
this into /etc/conf.d - > http://amnesty.scene.pl/~sqward/fallow/268-rc2-vivid1/etc/conf.d/cpu_sched
and this into /etc/init.d - > http://amnesty.scene.pl/~sqward/fallow/268-rc2-vivid1/etc/init.d/cpu_sched
don`t forget

Hmm.. I got a compile error on reiser4 on 2.6.8-rc2-vivid1.

fallow · Posted: Sun Jul 18, 2004 10:36 pm Post subject:

superjaded: sorry for that , i don`t use reiser4 at the moment , I forgot to check it.

i think this sholud fix this

nmcsween · Guru Joined: 12 Nov 2003 Posts: 381

Fallow I wouldn't mind working with you to make releases of our own. I have already worked on getting swsusp2 to work you 2.6.8-rc1 mm1 and a handful of other patches, seeing as we both like the staircase scheduler wouldn't it be in both of our interests if we worked together?

I think it is a good idea and I am agree - it`s our both interest
It would be nice

I fixed rejects with swsup2 and 2.6.8-rc2-vivid1 but i have to fix compile errors now , I haven`t enough time at the moment , but I`m try later.
Or ...

If You are interested in togheter patch / work and You applied swsup2 to 2.6.8-rc1 so please do that with 2.6.8-rc2-vivid1 and it would be our "patchset" I Can send You the actual diff after fixing rejects if it might be a some kind of help.
However - the idea is nice

greetings

I'll need the other patches you have to apply swsusp2 since it's horrific to get to work with when putting it on last. I have a couple of sites that could offer space for our patches or even a subversion repository. I also wouldn't mind taking a few patches from 2.6.8-rc1-mm1 and adding them as well.

Works great

after applying the reiser4 patch of course.

Oberyno : great

I`ve fixed rejects and compile errors with 2.6.8-rc1-vivid1 and swusp2.0.0.100 version , also reiser4 plugin error and dcookies.Now kernel with swsup2 compiles fine and booting , I don`t know hot to test swsup2 , I never had this feature before

so it`s testing version

ebuild,bz2,init.d.conf.d is as previous everytning in
-->> http://amnesty.scene.pl/~sqward/fallow/268-rc2-vivid2

Nmcsween : if this version doesn`t work good , so all hope in You

I think some patches from mm might be a good idea also

I don`t have enough space on the server , so i deleted one of previous versions to upload new. is 268-rc2-vivid1 and testing 268-rc2-vivid2 in dirs at the moment
I`m going to upload all patches for You , please give my adress for that

greetings
