Submitted by At the last Real-Time Linux Workshop held on September in Dresden, there has been a lot of discussion about the possibility of enhancing real-time capabilities of Linux by adding a new scheduling class to the Linux kernel. According to most kernel developers, this new scheduling class should be based on the Earliest Deadline First real-time algorithm. The first draft of the scheduling class has been called “SCHED_EDF” and it has been proposed and discussed on the Linux Kernel Mailing List just before the workshop. Recently, a second version of the scheduling class (called “SCHED_DEADLINE”, to meet the request of some kernel developers) has been proposed. Moreover, the code has been moved to a public git repository on Gitorius.
More details are available here.
Maybe someone could use diff here?

The editorial in Slashdot reads:
Story was submitted to both sites by the same person, namely “cloud” or “c1oud”. So, it’s internet self-plagiarism aka “carbon-copy” or “CC”, for short.
So the Linux devs are still working on reimplementing Solaris.
What’s your point? If Sun couldn’t see fit to move into the real-time market and if no one wanted to license Solaris for real-time use, how is that Linux’s fault?
I don’t see anyone claiming that this is a Linux innovation – this is to enhance its capabilities.
Is Linux infringing on a Sun patent?
First!
Sorry, this was the Earliest Deadline I could meet. The traffic was terrible this morning.
