Its not required on a correctly configured
system. You can limit the amount of memory that can be used by users / tasks. If this is still a problem then you are
probably running something on a machine that cannot run the tasks you require
it to. There was a version I did see some time
ago that when the scheduler thought the system was thrashing it would pause
tasks for a longer period of time to allow the system to recover from a load
spike. But it would not work for a system trying to sustain a heavy load. From:
kernelnewbies-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:kernelnewbies-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of atoka wotsa Can we have a Medium term scheduler in linux to reduce thrashing
effect, Medium term scheduler will group the processes such that the memory
requirement of each group is almost close to the physical memory available and
schedule them. the ordinary scheduler will then schedule the processes within
the group. kindly give your comments and suggestions... All-new
