(then I think it shall be well documented.) We have made some refinements to the model, but in general, it is the same idea. Daniel Eischen and I are working on a paper that gives a reasonable overview of the current design. Hopefully we can get it to a postable form in the near future. However, we're probably going to concern ourselves primarily with actually doing the work, rather than telling everybody beforehand exactly how we're doing it. > o shouldn't KSE to be renamed to something else?

It will change. =) > o What's the current status of implementation (or implementation design)? The design is basically done. The scheduler activations implementation has a number of interdependencies with the SMP changes that are currently being worked on, so the kernel support for the new threads library is going to take a bit longer than I would like. Still, I think we'll have scheduler activations done for FreeBSD 5.0. Jason To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
