Netdev 0x13 - The Need for Preemptive Scheduling in Microsecond scale Systems

Kostis Kaffes and Christos Kozyrakis argue that preemptive scheduling is in fact _a good thing_ in the strive for microsecond-scale latencies for application level communication. Most purveyors of microsec solutions move datapath processing to user space so as to avoid pre-emption and have better control of latencies. In this talk Kostis and Christos describe their approach: Shinjuku More info: https://netdevconf.org/0x13/session.html?talk-microsec
