Hi,

I've just stumbled on the LKML (via Slashdot) discussion on schedulers,
nicely compiled here: http://kerneltrap.org/node/14023 . I don't think
3D performance is of concern for FreeBSD, but I'm wondering how would
ULE and the latest incarnation of 4BSD fare in that discussion?

Specifically, I'm interested in this result in Linux:

2.6.22-ck1 2.6.22-cfs-v19
------------------------ ------------------------
quake + 0 loops | 41 fps quake + 0 loops | 41 fps
quake + 1 loop | 3 fps quake + 1 loop | 41 fps
quake + 2 loops | 2 fps quake + 2 loops | 32 fps
quake + 3 loops | 1 fps quake + 3 loops | 24 fps
quake + 4 loops | 0 fps quake + 4 loops | 20 fps
quake + 5 loops | 0 fps quake + 5 loops | 16 fps

(for the impatient: the benchmark is of running quake with several "idle
loop" processes, presumably on a single CPU machine. On the left is the
SD (staircase deadline) and on the right is the CF (completely fair)
scheduler).

How would this behave on FreeBSD? Is there a paper on how ULE should
behave / is modeled?


This is on a Intel C2D E6420 with 2G of ram,
Nvidia 7900GTO (nvidia-driver-1.0.9746)
running xorg-server-6.9.0_5 on a recent -CURRENT :

idle is basicaly a small C program with just for(;;); in its main()
function.
I've run glxgears for 20 secs each (to get four reports)
Both idle and glxgears are run as normal user.

Can you tell me what % cpu is going to each process during this time? These results are surprising. For workloads like this ULE should essentially implement a 'fair' scheduling policy. However, so should 4BSD. So I'm not yet sure why the slowdown wouldn't be relative to the number of running threads. Also, 'vmstat 1' output would be useful.

Can I recreate this test without a fancy video card? I have the following in my laptop:

vgapci0@pci1:0:0: class=0x030000 card=0x054f1014 chip=0x4e541002 rev=0x80
hdr=0x00
vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc.'
device = 'Radeon Mobility M10 NT (RV350-WS)'


Thanks,
Jeff
