Linux Multiprocessor Schedulers
Discover how Linux implements multiprocessor scheduling through three key schedulers: O(1), Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS), and BF Scheduler (BFS). Learn their designs including queue structures, priority methods, and proportional-share approaches to understand how Linux balances load and manages CPU time efficiently.

Three different multiprocessor schedulers
Interestingly, in the Linux community, no common solution has approached building a multiprocessor scheduler. Over time, three different schedulers arose: the O(1) scheduler, the Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS), and the BF Scheduler
