DESCRIPTION
The sched_ule scheduler is an experimental scheduler that provides a number of advanced scheduler features not present in sched_4bsd(4), the default system scheduler. These features address SMP and interactivity and include:
- Thread CPU affinity.
- CPU topology awareness, including for hyper-threading.
- Per-CPU run queues.
- Interactivity heuristics that detect interactive applications and schedules them preferentially under high load.
The following sysctls are relevant to the operation of sched_ule:
