In redhat where is the process scheduler located? Does this scheduler implement round robin?
It doesn't matter whether it's RedHat, or any other distribution. They're all the same kernel.
Look at schedule() in kernel/sched.c to see the heart of the scheduler. My understanding is that it's a weighted round robiner, considering such things as the nice value and how often a process gets caught "holding the ball" by the clock interrupt.
Hope this helps.
