Hi, I have joined UNC recently (in Fall 2009). Currently I am working with Dr. James H. Anderson as a part of Real Time Systems Group.
I graduated from Pune Institute of Computer Technology, affiliated to University of Pune in 2007 and worked as a Researcher at Tata Research, Development and Design Centre (TRDDC), Pune for two years.
I will update this web page asap and upload more details about myself and my work.

This is my first presentation at Real Time Lunch @ UNC Chapel Hill. The presentation is about BFS by Con Kolivas. You can find the slides here.
Summary:
BFS is a fair scheduler developed by Con Kolivas. This follows a very simple and basic design
strategies doing away with all heuristics and estimators of mainline Linux
kernel scheduler (CFS). This scheduler is “supposed” to be ideal for desktop
and low end machines (less than 16 logical CPUs). This is designed to provide
“Extreme scalability within normal load levels”. But the results are not
conclusive. Not much documentation is
available as of today regarding the scheduler. This presentation provides
insights about how the BFS works, what were design issues and why certain
decisions were made etc.
