Reimplementing A Linux Rust Scheduler In eBPF Shows Very Promising Results


NVIDIA software engineer Andrea Righi has implemented his 'scx_rustland' Linux Rust scheduler within eBPF for very promising performance results.

NVIDIA software engineer Andrea Righi has implemented his "scx_rustland" Linux Rust scheduler within eBPF for very promising performance results. The rapid edit/compile/test cycle provided by technologies like sched_ext is invaluable for quickly iterating on these prototypes, allowing developers to achieve meaningful results in a much shorter timeframe. scx_bpfland is a practical example of this approach, demonstrating how initial development in a flexible Rust user-space environment can be effectively transitioned to BPF for enhanced performance.
