  • Linux 2.6.0 has made significant improvements in the processor scheduler
    in the 2.6.0 release. Not only are processes scheduled more efficiently,
    but the scheduler has been redesigned to be more scalable when the
    number of processes in a machine are increased. In 2.4, the
    scaling is not as prominent.
  • The hackbench test is a benchmark for measuring the performance, overhead, and
    scalability of the Linux scheduler. Created by Rusty Russell, it uses client
    and server processes grouped to send and receive data in order to simulate
    the connections established for a chat room. Each client sends a message to
    each server in the group.
