Design and Performance of Configurable Endsystem Scheduling Mechanisms

This paper describes a scheduling abstraction, called group scheduling, that emphasizes fine grain configurability of scheduling system semantics. The group scheduling approach described and evaluated in this paper is an extremely flexible framework within which a wide range of scheduling semantics can be expressed. The paper describes both the OS and middleware based implementations of the framework, and shows through evaluation that they produce the same behavior from a non-trivial set of application computations. Further, the evaluation shows that the framework can easily support application-aware scheduling algorithms to improve performance
