In article <3342@blake.acs.washington.edu> lgy@blake.acs.washington.edu (Laurence Yaffe) writes: We have an ongoing discussion about scheduling of large jobs. I suggest that a good batch system would be better at this than trying to do everything in the kernel. It can monitor the various requirements of the separate jobs (store utilisation, i/o and system call patterns etc) and tune accordingly. What it needs from the operating system is this information plus some more (like interactive usage). Summary - if it doesn't need to be in the kernel, don't put it there.
