Sched_Ext Boasts CPU Selection Improvements In Linux 6.16
4 June 2025 - Sched_Ext

One of the niftiest kernel innovations to be upstreamed into Linux over the past year was sched_ext for extensible scheduler behavior in allowing kernel schedulers to be implemented via BPG programs. Sched_ext can allow for interesting scheduler improvements with a variety of use-cases and showed much potential even before being upstreamed. The work on sched_ext isn't yet over though and yet more improvements landed for Linux 6.16.
