Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2012 19:25:26 +0200 From: Uwaysi Bin Kareem <uwaysi.bin.kareem@...adoxuncreated.com> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: Re: The 10ms averager in fair.c + granularity The 10 ms averager is not the only strange thing. Obviously there are some good things in this scheduler, since it performs quite well. But I am not criticising the good. But the documentation makes a distinction between desktop and server with the "resolution" parameter. I tried some values and "echo 4500000000 > sched_min_granularity_ns" which would be strongly tuned towards server, only reduced jitter in doom 3. Which means it is a good value for desktop. So that doesn`t seem to cohere with what is stated aswell. Anyway.. One needs to get really deep into the code to understand why it is so. So you know, I don know. I am going to take a look at it, and there probably won`t be any patch anytime soon.
