Hi folks, I'm a MSc student, from PUC-Rio, and I've a free software project, called Lunatik [1]. Lunatik is a infrastructure to extend dynamically the Linux kernel with scripts written in Lua language. I'd like to apply to Linux Foundation on GSoC to create the support to extend a subsystem of the kernel with Lua. I extended the Cpufreq subsystem to allow users to write their own Cpufreq governors using Lua. Here a little example: function governor() cpu_load = getLoad() if ( cpu_load > 80 ) then target( tab_freq.getMax() ) elseif ( cpu_load < 30 ) then target( tab_freq.getPrev() ) end end I intend to create the support to allow users to load schedulers written in Lua. I think that feature will improve the flexibility and adaptability of the OS. In that way, it would be possible to load, dynamically, different algorithms to adapt the OS's scheduler to different purposes. Moreover, it might be useful to prototyping of new algorithms. What do you think?
