#### A sched-ext scheduler in Rust that prioritizes interactive workloads

scx\_rustland is Linux scheduler made of a BPF component (dispatcher) that implements the low level sched-ext functionalities and a user-space counterpart (scheduler), written in Rust, that implements the actual scheduling policy.

In order to use scx\_rustland you need to install the latest Ubuntu kernel from this ppa:
<https://launchpad.net/~arighi/+archive/ubuntu/sched-ext>

Please ensure that the following interfaces are connected to grant the scheduler complete resource access:

```
 sudo snap connect scx-rustland:process-control
 sudo snap connect scx-rustland:system-observe
 sudo snap connect scx-rustland:system-trace
```

Also make sure that compaction kthread does not reclaim unevictable memory to improve scheduler's stability:

```
 echo 0 | sudo tee /proc/sys/vm/compact_unevictable_allowed
```

The scheduler is designed to prioritize interactive workloads over background CPU-intensive workloads. For this reason the typical use case involves low-latency interactive applications, such as gaming, video conferencing and live streaming.

## Enable snaps on openSUSE and install scx-rustland

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.

You need first add the *snappy* repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.

Tumbleweed:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
```

Leap 15.x:

```
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
```

If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.

With the repository added, import its GPG key:

```
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
```

Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new *snappy* repository:

```
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
```

Snap can now be installed with the following:

```
sudo zypper install snapd
```

You then need to either reboot, logout/login or `source /etc/profile` to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the *snapd* and the *snapd.apparmor* services with the following commands:

```
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
```
