    LOTTERY SCHEDULING IN THE LINUX KERNEL: A CLOSER LOOK A Thesis presented to the Faculty of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Computer Science by David Zepp June 2012 © 2012 David Zepp ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP TITLE: LOTTERY SCHEDULING IN THE LINUX KERNEL: A CLOSER LOOK AUTHOR: David Zepp DATE SUBMITTED: June 2012 COMMITTEE CHAIR: Michael Haungs, Associate Professor of Computer Science COMMITTEE MEMBER: John Bellardo, Assistant Professor of Computer Science COMMITTEE MEMBER: Aaron Keen, Associate Professor of Computer Science iii ABSTRACT LOTTERY SCHEDULING IN THE LINUX KERNEL: A CLOSER LOOK David Zepp This paper presents an implementation of a lottery scheduler, presented from design through debugging to performance testing. Desirable characteristics of a general purpose scheduler include low overhead, good overall system performance for a variety of process types, and fair scheduling behavior. Testing is performed, along with an analysis of the results measuring the lottery scheduler against these characteristics. Lottery scheduling is found to provide better than average control over the relative execution rates of processes. The results show that lottery scheduling functions as a good mechanism for sharing the CPU fairly between users that are competing for the resource. While the lottery scheduler proves to have several interesting properties, overall system performance suffers and does not compare favorably with the balanced performance afforded by the standard Linux kernel’s scheduler.

  • Lottery Scheduler for the Linux Kernel Planificador Lotería Para El Núcleo
    Lottery scheduler for the Linux kernel María Mejía a, Adriana Morales-Betancourt b & Tapasya Patki c a Universidad de Caldas and Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Manizales, Colombia, [email protected] b Departamento de Sistemas e Informática at Universidad de Caldas, Manizales, Colombia, [email protected] c Department of Computer Science, University of Arizona, Tucson, USA, [email protected] Received: April 17th, 2014. Received in revised form: September 30th, 2014. Accepted: October 20th, 2014 Abstract This paper describes the design and implementation of Lottery Scheduling, a proportional-share resource management algorithm, on the Linux kernel. A new lottery scheduling class was added to the kernel and was placed between the real-time and the fair scheduling class in the hierarchy of scheduler modules. This work evaluates the scheduler proposed on compute-intensive, I/O-intensive and mixed workloads. The results indicate that the process scheduler is probabilistically fair and prevents starvation. Another conclusion is that the overhead of the implementation is roughly linear in the number of runnable processes. Keywords: Lottery scheduling, Schedulers, Linux kernel, operating system.

  • CPU Scheduling
    Last Class: Processes • A process is the unit of execution. • Processes are represented as Process Control Blocks in the OS – PCBs contain process state, scheduling and memory management information, etc • A process is either New, Ready, Waiting, Running, or Terminated. • On a uniprocessor, there is at most one running process at a time. • The program currently executing on the CPU is changed by performing a context switch • Processes communicate either with message passing or shared memory Computer Science CS377: Operating Systems Lecture 5, page Today: Scheduling Algorithms • Goals for scheduling • FCFS & Round Robin • SJF • Multilevel Feedback Queues • Lottery Scheduling Computer Science CS377: Operating Systems Lecture 5, page 2 Scheduling Processes • Multiprogramming: running more than one process at a time enables the OS to increase system utilization and throughput by overlapping I/O and CPU activities. • Process Execution State • All of the processes that the OS is currently managing reside in one and only one of these state queues. Computer Science CS377: Operating Systems Lecture 5, page Scheduling Processes • Long Term Scheduling: How does the OS determine the degree of multiprogramming, i.e., the number of jobs executing at once in the primary memory? • Short Term Scheduling: How does (or should) the OS select a process from the ready queue to execute? – Policy Goals – Policy Options – Implementation considerations Computer Science CS377: Operating Systems Lecture 5, page Short Term Scheduling • The kernel runs the scheduler at least when 1. a process switches from running to waiting, 2. an interrupt occurs, or 3. a process is created or terminated. • Non-preemptive system: the scheduler must wait for one of these events • Preemptive system: the scheduler can interrupt a running process Computer Science CS377: Operating Systems Lecture 5, page 5 Criteria for Comparing Scheduling Algorithms • CPU Utilization The percentage of time that the CPU is busy.

Multiple-Processor Scheduling Operating System Concepts 5.2 Southeast University Basic Concepts ! Maximum CPU utilization obtained with multiprogramming ! A Fact: Process execution consists of an alternating sequence of CPU execution and I/O wait, called CPU–I/O Burst Cycle Operating System Concepts 5.3 Southeast University CPU-I/O Burst Cycle ! Process execution repeats the CPU burst and I/O burst cycle. ! When a process begins an I/O burst, another process can use the CPU for a CPU burst. Operating System Concepts 5.4 Southeast University CPU-bound and I/O-bound ! A process is CPU-bound if it generates I/O requests infrequently, using more of its time doing computation. ! A process is I/O-bound if it spends more of its time to do I/O than it spends doing computation. Operating System Concepts 5.5 Southeast University ! A CPU-bound process might have a few very long CPU bursts. ! An I/O-bound process typically has many short CPU bursts Operating System Concepts 5.6 Southeast University CPU Scheduler ! When the CPU is idle, the OS must select another process to run. ! This selection process is carried out by the short-term scheduler (or CPU scheduler). ! The CPU scheduler selects a process from the ready queue and allocates the CPU to it. ! The ready queue does not have to be a FIFO one.

I am the combined effort of everybody I’ve ever known. — Chuck Palahniuk (Invisible Monsters) My committee has been indispensable. Their comments have been enlight- ening and valuable. I would especially like to thank Andrea for meeting with me every week whether I had anything worth talking about or not. Her insights and guidance were instrumental. She immediately recognized the problems we were seeing as originating from the CPU scheduler; I was incredulous. My wife was a great source of support during the creation of this work. In the beginning, it was her and I against the world, and my success is a reflection of our teamwork. Without her I would be like a stray dog: dirty, hungry, and asleep in afternoon. I would also like to thank my family for providing a constant reminder of the truly important things in life. They kept faith that my PhD madness would pass without pressuring me to quit or sandbag. I will do my best to live up to their love and trust. The thing I will miss most about leaving graduate school is the people.
