Hi,

Just like Linux has round robin, FIFO and other scheduling policies inside the kernel, I would like to provide a cyclic/clock driven scheduling policy to linux. Meaning all set of tasks should be able to use this policy. This should include any Java threads also. JVM by itslef provides a priority driven policy to its threads. JVM sits on the kernel. Modification to JVM is also required to schedule threads cyclically. But first I am trying to get this working with the kernel and then later with JVM.

If you need any more information, I will be glad to provide them.

I would like to direct you to a website of a course offered at Cornell university where this assignment is posted. I want to achieve something similar to this.

Here is the link to that website.

Please Help me.

Thanks,
Linux Quest

Hi,
Please stop sending this email, it sometimes takes people a day or two to reply. That said, you would be better off asking your lecturer or a tutor for help. However, I suggest you study and understand kernel/sched.c to start with.
