"This is the first in a series of papers from EuroSys 2016. There are
three strands here: first of all, there’s some great background into how
scheduling works in the Linux kernel; secondly, there’s a story about
Software Aging and how changing requirements and maintenance can cause
decay; and finally, the authors expose four bugs in Linux scheduling
that caused cores to remain idle even when there was pressing work
waiting to be scheduled. Hence the paper title, “A Decade of Wasted Cores.”"
Great work. Via Jan Wildeboer.
