* Package name : schedtools Version : 1.2.6 Upstream Author : Freek <http://freshmeat.net/projects/schedtool/> * URL : http://freequaos.host.sk/schedtool/ * License : GPLv2 Programming Lang: C Description : Queries/alters process's scheduling policy; supports the -ck kernel patch schedtool can be used to query or alter a process' scheduling policy under Linux. Support for CPU-affinity has also been added and most recently (re-)nicing of processes. Thus, schedtool is the definitive interface to Linux's scheduler. It can be used to avoid skipping for A/V-applications, to lock processes onto certain CPUs on SMP/NUMA systems, which may be beneficial for networking or benchmarks, or to adjust nice-levels of lesser important jobs to maintain a high amount of interactive responsiveness under high load. If you don't know about scheduling policies, you probably don't want to use this program - or learn and read "man sched_setscheduler". Certain modes (as of this writing: SCHED_IDLE and SCHED_ISO) need a patched kernel (such as Con Kolivas' -ck patchset, from http://members.optusnet.com.au/ckolivas/kernel/) -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (700, 'testing'), (500, 'testing-proposed-updates'), (90, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.17-ck1 Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
