Chip Multi Processing aware Linux Kernel Scheduler

چکیده
Recent advances in semiconductor manufacturing and engineering technologies have led to the inclusion of more than one CPU core in a single physical processor package. This, popularly known as Chip Multi Processing (CMP), allows multiple instruction streams to execute at the same time. CMP is in addition to today’s Simultaneous Multi Threading (SMT) capabilities, like Intel R © Hyper-Threading Technology which allows a processor to present itself as two logical processors, resulting in best use of execution resources. With CMP, today’s Linux Kernel will deliver instantaneous performance improvement. In this paper, we will explore ideas for further improving peak performance and power savings by making the Linux Kernel Scheduler CMP aware.

Implementing a Thermal-Aware Scheduler in Linux Kernel on a Multi-Core Processor
As power dissipation causes thermal issues in cooling costs, lifetime and reliability, thermal management has become an important issue in today’s OS and processor design. Early OS-level thermal management schemes were proposed and evaluated mainly with simulators or analytical models. In this paper, we implement a thermal-aware round-robin scheduling algorithm in the Linux kernel, and compare ...

As threads of execution in a multi-programmed computing environment have different characteristics and hardware resource requirements, heterogeneous multi-core processors can achieve higher performance as well as power efficiency than homogeneous multi-core processors. To fully tap into that potential, OS schedulers need to be heterogeneity-aware, so they can match threads to cores according to...
متن کاملProposal and Evaluation of APIs for Utilizing Inter-Core Time Aggregation Scheduler
This paper proposes and evaluates APIs for Inter-Core Time Aggregation Scheduler (IAS), which is a kernel-level thread scheduler to enhance performances of multi-threaded programs on multi-core processors. We have proposed IAS, which is a combination of time-multiplexing and space-multiplexing scheduling to utilize caches existing per processing core and shared between processing cores. We pres...
