Subject: [RFC] The Linux Scheduler: a Decade of Wasted Cores Report

Interesting read.

http://www.ece.ubc.ca/~sasha/papers/eurosys16-final29.pdf

"... The Linux kernel scheduler has deficiencies that prevent a
multicore system from making proper use of all cores for heavily
multithreaded loads, according to a lecture and paper delivered
earlier this month at the EuroSys '16 conference in London, ..."

Any plans to incorporate these fixes?
