Con Kolivas is an Australian anaesthetist.〔(Anaesthesia Information Page ) by Kolivas, Jan 2001〕 He has worked as a computer programmer on the Linux kernel and on the development of the cryptographic currency mining software CGMiner.〔(CGMiner GitHub repository, "ASIC and FPGA miner in c for bitcoin" )〕 His Linux contributions include patches for the kernel to improve its desktop performance, particularly reducing I/O impact. ==Linux== Kolivas is most notable for his work with CPU scheduling, most significantly his implementation of "fair scheduling," which inspired Ingo Molnár to develop his Completely Fair Scheduler, as a replacement for the earlier O(1) scheduler, crediting Kolivas in his announcement.〔, 18 April 2007, ''KernelTrap.org''〕 Kolivas developed several CPU schedulers such as the Staircase in 2004, and subsequently Staircase Deadline (SD) Many of his experimental "-ck" patches, such as his prefetching and scheduling code, did not get merged with the official Linux kernel. In 2007, Kolivas announced in an email that he would cease developing for the Linux kernel. Discussing his reasons in an interview, he expressed frustration with aspects of the mainline kernel development process, which he felt did not give sufficient priority to desktop interactivity, in addition to hacking taking a toll on his health, work and family. He has also written a benchmarking tool called ConTest〔(The homepage of contest )〕 that can be used to compare the performance of different kernel versions.〔, 16 October 2002, ''KernelTrap.org''〕 On 31 August 2009, Kolivas posted a new scheduler called BFS (Brain Fuck Scheduler). He has since begun maintaining the -ck patch set again. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Con Kolivas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
