    Can someone point to me the specific location in the FreeBSD kernel source
    where the code for FreeBSD's thread/process & memory management are?

    Specifically, where the dispatcher and scheduler is implemented,
    what kind of scheduling algorithms(short term, long term) are used,
    where the dynamic storage allocation algorithm is implemented(I'll try
    to figure the algorithm used from the code), etc.

    Any help'd be appreciated!
