Linux: The Original Process Scheduler
,----[ Quote ]
| In a June of 1992 posting to the linux-activists mailing list, Linus Torvalds
| described the original Linux scheduler noting, "the scheduler in linux is
| pretty simple, but does a reasonably good job at giving good IO response
| while not being too unfair against cpu-bound processes."

Five Questions: Kristian 'Vanders' van der Vliet, Syllable

| Kaj has been planning
| it for a long time and it's exciting that it's really happening now. We
| have already been noticing that it opens doors for us. On the other hand,
| it's just a side project to help Syllable Desktop out. Using the Linux
| kernel for Syllable Server gives us several things: stability, REBOL/Core,
| and ReiserFS 3.

CFS scheduler to appear in Linux kernel 2.6.23
,----[ Quote ]
| And also credit where credit's due, Con Kolivas was the first one to
| prove via RSDL/SD that 'fair scheduling' is possible and that it
| results in better desktop scheduling.

Linux: Linus On CFS vs SD
,----[ Quote ]
| "People who think SD was 'perfect' were simply ignoring reality," Linus
| Torvalds began in a succinct explanation as to why he chose the CFS scheduler
| written by Ingo Molnar instead of the SD scheduler written by Con Kolivas.
