#### 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.
