The deadline scheduler is an I/O scheduler for the Linux kernel which was written in 2002 by Jens Axboe. == Overview == The main goal of the Deadline scheduler is to guarantee a start service time for a request. It does so by imposing a deadline on all I/O operations to prevent starvation of requests. It also maintains two deadline queues, in addition to the sorted queues (both read and write). Deadline queues are basically sorted by their deadline (the expiration time), while the sorted queues are sorted by the sector number. Before serving the next request, the deadline scheduler decides which queue to use. Read queues are given a higher priority, because processes usually block on read operations. Next, the deadline scheduler checks if the first request in the deadline queue has expired. Otherwise, the scheduler serves a batch of requests from the sorted queue. In both cases, the scheduler also serves a batch of requests following the chosen request in the sorted queue. By default, read requests have an expiration time of 500 ms, write requests expire in 5 seconds. An early version of the scheduler was published by Jens Axboe in January 2002. Measurements have shown that the deadline I/O scheduler outperforms the CFQ I/O scheduler for certain multithreaded workloads and also for certain database workloads. 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「Deadline scheduler」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
