NAME
sched_ule – ULE scheduler
SYNOPSIS
options SCHED_ULE
DESCRIPTION
The sched_ule scheduler provides a number of advanced scheduler features not present in sched_4bsd(4), the traditional system scheduler. These features address SMP and interactivity and include:
-
Thread CPU affinity.
-
CPU topology awareness, including for hyper-threading.
-
Per-CPU run queues.
-
Interactivity heuristics that detect interactive applications and schedules them preferentially under high load.
The following sysctls are relevant to the operation of sched_ule:
- kern.sched.name
-
This read-only sysctl reports the name of the active scheduler.
- kern.sched.quantum
-
This read-write sysctl reports or sets the length of the quantum (in micro-seconds) granted to a thread.

HISTORY
The sched_ule scheduler first appeared in FreeBSD 5.1.
