Phoronix: BFS Updated For Linux 4.8, To Be Succeeded By New MuQSS Scheduler

Con Kolivas has rolled out the BFS scheduler v0.512 release for Linux 4.8, which may be his last "BFS" release as he's getting ready to premiere a new scheduler...

Maybe the problem is your "edgy" imagination..

Con never lets us down. I will give this a test on my arch vm.

Yeah right, and I'm an elephant with a nosejob.

Impossible, I have no flaws.


Jokes aside, I love this scheduler. Hope some day it can be upstreamed somehow. Granted, schedulers are probably too performance-sensitive to load dynamically; but at least it would be nice as a build-time option.

Breaking news: microcode is a flawless elephant with a nosejob.

I'm not a native speaker but I've said it made sense if it was pronounced "mucus" or "mucs".

"Mux" and "mucs" are literally pronounced the same.
