For example, the scheduler might need to store events for some future execution. Defining the function or role of the system is probably the best place to start when considering scheduler design or the tuning of existing schedulers. For example, you should know whether the target system is an embedded device, a hand-held device, a laptop, desktop, server, supercomputer, and so on so that you can define what your goals are for the scheduler. For example, suppose your target system is a desktop user doing some web surfing, perhaps playing a video or music, and maybe even running a game.
Although this is a simple and common scenario, this mix of workloads has enormous implications. Therefore, a desktop target system that requires as little interruption of interactive programs as possible has a great influence on the design of the scheduler.
Newer filesystems are incorporating some of these concepts, and you can even extend these concepts to make the system better adapt to the properties of SSDs. Currently, four are included in the kernel:. The scheduler also does request merging by taking adjacent requests and merging them into a single request to reduce seek time and improve throughput. As the name implies, it anticipates subsequent block requests and implements request merging, a one-way elevator a simple elevator , and read and write request batching.
If the request comes, the disk head is in the correct location, and the request is serviced very quickly. This approach does add a little latency to the system because it pauses slightly to see if the next request is for the subsequent block.
However, this latency is possibly outweighed by the increased performance for neighboring requests. Putting on your storage expert hat, you can see that the Anticipatory scheduler works really well for certain workloads.

Christian, I've also tested later builds of CentOS7 ex: v7. Community Member 28 points. Christian Kujau. From the commit log : block: elevator. Here are the common uses of Markdown.

Why did fsync every writes result in the secondary latency mode? It is possible that the primary mode represents the latency taken to write data to the disk buffer cache, and the secondary mode represents the additional time to flush the cache to disk. The exact mechanics of how data is written to disk varies between file systems ext4 was used in this example , as well as kernel versions. Proving this theory requires tracing the code path used by the benchmark, as well as an understanding of the write-back cache behavior of the block device used.
Alternatively, it is possible that some part of the virtualization layer is causing this bimodal distribution. Sometimes we end up with more questions than answers from initial investigations. However, because everything is a file in UNIX based systems, the same syscalls used to write to the filesystem are also used to write to sockets and pipes. I contemplated running the benchmark again with the network disabled, which would eliminate one source of socket calls affecting the measurements, but I would need to install a local data broker to store the eBPF telemetry, which could then forward the relevant metrics to Circonus once the benchmark was finished.
