Public Sticky notes

Linux 2.6.0 has made significant improvements in the processor scheduler in the 2.6.0 release. Not only are processes scheduled more efficiently, but the scheduler has been redesigned to be more scalable when the number of processes in a machine are increased. In 2.4, the scaling is not as prominent.

The hackbench test is a benchmark for measuring the performance, overhead, and scalability of the Linux scheduler. Created by Rusty Russell, it uses client and server processes grouped to send and receive data in order to simulate the connections established for a chat room. Each client sends a message to each server in the group.
