Apps are made of execution threads. On which CPU should they run? When should they start? For how long should they execute? The CPU scheduler is the part of the kernel in charge of these decisions. What does it mean to write your own scheduler? Is that even possible?
This talk will show you how to create your own CPU schedulers, using an unofficial kernel package for openSUSE Tumbleweed, and some programming. Tailoring the execution of your apps to your own specific devices and needs is extremely educational, intellectually rewarding, and is an excellent way to get started in kernel programming.
Coding enthusiasts who can't wait to peek under the hood of their systems are invited to attend!
