I am willing to contribute to FreeBSD as a google soc participant this year. I would like to suggest an idea. Title: Multicore Aware Process Scheduler. I have not gone through the process scheduler code of Free BSD. Hence, I am not yet aware about the current support for Multicore Architectures. Linux Kernel 2.6.* currently supports SMP, SMT, NUMA architectures. Please do comment and suggest on this idea. Awaiting replies ! -- Siddharth Prakash Singh http://www.spsneo.com
