Is there anything specific that you don't understand ? SCHED_OTHER: Default Linux time-sharing scheduling SCHED_OTHER can only be used at static priority 0. SCHED_OTHER is the standard Linux time-sharing scheduler that is intended for all processes that do not require special static priority real-time mechanisms. The process to run is chosen from the static priority 0 list based on a dynamic priority that is determined only inside this list. The dynamic priority is based on the nice level (set by the nice or setpriority system call) and increased for each time quantum the process is ready to run, but denied to run by the scheduler. This ensures fair progress among all SCHED_OTHER processes.
