BFS scheduler weekly status report

[rudo tomori]

Hi,
the goal of my project is to implement a BFS - like scheduler into the
FreeBSD. I started off with the original 4.4BSD code, and by iterative
modifications I will develop a scheduler that matches the BFS design
as specified in http://ck.kolivas.org/patches/bfs/sched-BFS.txt.

Last week I was performing benchmarks using sysbench and make world. I
tried to minimize disk IO by using tmpfs. You can find more details at
my project blog site rudot.blog.com

This week I will continue with running the benchmarks on other hardware.

After that I will probably continue by changing the mapping of thread
priorities to a specific priority queue in the global run queue. The
BFS uses only 1 queue for all time-sharing processes.
