I generated a table of results from the latest glitch1 script, using an HTML postprocessor I not *quite* ready to foist on the word. In any case it has some numbers for frames per second, fairness of the processor time allocated to the compute bound processes which generate a lot of other screen activity for X, and my subjective comments on how smooth it looked and felt.

The chart is at http://www.tmr.com/~davidsen/sched_smooth_01.html for your viewing pleasure. The only "tuned" result was with sd, since what I observed was so bad using the default settings. If any scheduler developers would like me to try other tunings or new versions let me know.


As I tryied myself kernels 2.6.21, 2.6.21-cfs-v13, and 2.6.21-ck2 on the same machine i found *very* odd those numbers you posted, so i tested myself those kernels to see the numbers I get instead of talking about the usage of kernel xpto feels like.

I did run glxgears with kernels 2.6.21, 2.6.21-cfs-v13 and 2.6.21-ck2 inside Debian's GNOME environment. The hardware is an AMD Sempron64 3.0 GHz, 1 GB RAM, Nvidia 6800XT.
Average and standard deviation from the gathered data:

* 2.6.21: 		average = 11251.1; stdev = 0.172
* 2.6.21-cfs-v13:	average = 11242.8; stdev = 0.033
* 2.6.21-ck2:		average = 11257.8; stdev = 0.067

Keep in mind those numbers don't mean anything we all know glxgears is not a benchmark, their purpose is only to be used as comparison under the same conditions.

One odd thing i noticed, with 2.6.21-cfs-v13 the gnome's time applet in the bar skipped some minutes (e.g. 16:23 -> 16:25) several times.

The data is available on: http://www.debianPT.org/~elmig/pool/kernel/20070520/


How did you get your data? I am affraid your data it's wrong, there's no such big difference between the schedulers...
