EEVDF Scheduler On The Verge Of Being "Complete" (www.phoronix.com)

tl;dr EEVDF CPU scheduler that has replaced Linux's previous default scheduler (CFS), is close to completion. CPU schedulers can have a significant effect on performance and latency of various tasks.

It will be interesting to see how it compares to BORE which is what I use on my desktop systems. There's also the many workload specific schedulers that sched_ext allows for, but it's still not in mainline I believe.

I still compile my kernels with BORE. Based on the graphs I've seen, you still get a slight edge in framerate in games, and on-par performance for everything else, which is exactly what I want. Otherwise, you really cant go wrong with EEVDF at this point

For gaming PDS is king for stable frametimes and fast response times

Bore is close second

EEVDF is very good too

I also hope you're compiling with llvm and full lto for maximum snappiness
