Partitioned Scheduling

[Daniel Krefft]

Hi,

if I understand it right, there is only one scheduler in the kernel
realizing one distinct scheduling strategy (e.g. fixed prio). However,
given a multi-core system, several (all) cores are using *this* strategy
in an independent core-local style. I'm right?

So, the questions are:

- How can I enhance this approach for several scheduling schemes (not
only one)?

- Where does the mapping between core and scheduling scheme happen?
(e.g. compile-time/run-time)

- Which files do I need to change?

Maybe you can help me to get the big picture (flow chart) of scheduling
in Fiasco.OC because it is vital for the next steps and our research.

Best regards,
Daniel
