UNIX Fair-share Schedulers: What You Don't Know Can Hurt You
Computer Science Building (26), Monash University, Melbourne, AUSTRALIA
The latest generation of commercial UNIXes (e.g., AIX, HPUX, and
Solaris) offer facilities for automatically managing the consumption
of system resources such as processors, disks, and memory. This is
accomplished by re-engineering the generic time-share scheduler to
behave as a so-called "fair-share" scheduler. This simple
administrative "set it and forget it" approach to resource control
belies the potential adverse impact on performance as measured by user
response time and service level targets. None of the commercial
implementations discuss these issues nor do they provide tools that
are suitable for avoiding them. In this talk I will review the concept
of fair-share scheduling and the motivations behind deploying it.
Then, I will present several share allocation scenarios based on the
PDQ modeling tool together with the surprising performance
consequences. In closing, I will say something about the future of
resource management in UNIX.
