Phoronix: Early Independent Benchmarks Of The MuQSS Scheduler

MuQSS is the successor to the BFS scheduler and its first major release was last month for this scheduler that currently doesn't have any ambitions to go mainline. On OpenBenchmarking.org this weekend were some independent benchmarks of the new scheduler...

why are the MuQSS runs done at a lower kernel tick ?
lack of consistency w.r.t. testing -> invalid results

Because Con Kolivas (the author) recommends 100Hz for optimal performance of MuQSS whereas CFS upstream recommend 1000Hz. In each case, the default is set to match.
It's a fair comparison to use each system's recommended/default values.

MuQSS is now a tickless scheduler. That means it can maintain its guaranteed low latency even in a build configured with a low Hz tick rate. To that end, it is now defaulting to 100Hz, and it is recommended to use this as the default choice for it leads to more throughput and power savings as well.

@Michael: You can't "vouge" for them or you can't "vouch" for them? Also the graphs have no units on them, so I have no idea what I am looking.

droste Thanks for the highlight. I had to push ctrl+shift+'+' 4 times to see that, that was text an not just a blue line. There seems to be enough white space for at least 8pt font.

What??

You can't just post a picture, you have to have at least some amount of text Probably against spam.

MuQSS?

Eww.
