.Cd "options SCHED_ULE"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
scheduler
|
|
is an experimental scheduler that provides a number of advanced scheduler
|
|
features not present in
|
|
.Xr sched_4bsd 4 ,
|
|
the default system scheduler.
|
|
These features address SMP and interactivity and include:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -bullet -compact -offset indent
|
|
.It
|
|
Thread CPU affinity.
|
|
.It
|
|
CPU topology awareness, including for hyper-threading.
|
|
.It
|
|
Per-CPU run queues.
|
|
.It
|
|
Interactivity heuristics that detect interactive applications and schedules
|
|
them preferentially under high load.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following sysctls are relevant to the operation of
|
|
.Nm :
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent

.Sh BUGS
|
|
As an experimental scheduler,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is not enabled by default due to a number of known issues, including weak
|
|
performance with several known workloads, and reports of instability.
|
|
Deployment of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
in production environments is not recommended at this time.
