Where are we now?

The development of SMP support has been separated into several distinctive steps. The first step was to rewrite the scheduler in C for easier accessibility. In the very end, this step might be reversed again, rewriting the then SMP capable scheduler back into assembly language. The second, more fundamental step was to decouple the scheduler from its current data structures. As you might know, ExecBase contains a lot of list for task that are ready, or waiting for a signal. This has now been achieved. The current development build uses a scheduler that no longer uses the original AmigaOS data structures, but a structure that is replicated for each core. The next step is to have each core in the development system (currently, the X1000) to run the scheduler. Test code will then start tasks on the different cores and see how they behave. We have already experimented with this and the results look promising. The tests basically showed that the lockout mechanism for Forbid works as planned. As a final step, the balancing will be introduced, which then finalizes the first implementation of SMP support in AmigaOS.

Future plans

There are several possibilities to chose from once the first implementation is done. First of all, the scheduling algorithm is still the same as the one used by current Exec, a priority modified Round-Robin. Naturally, this is an algorithm that can be improved upon. There are several other implementations that come to mind, like the O(1) scheduler, multilevel feedback queues or even the Brain Fuck Scheduler. Also, the balancing algorithms are candidates for improvement. The system might record scheduling data and compute typical user profiles that can be pre-selected, like, for example, the ability to determine when to balance, and how balancing is carried out.

the text is shorter then the full article, and only one small layout change when it comes to texture was made 
+ that I (blogger) removed the word => aggressively <= that occured in the last sentence - cause that operation did not decrease the understanding of the article or the message => according to my opinion.
