Linux – Are there any Workload Management subsystems for Linux

kernellinuxscheduling

Asked this on superuser, got no response:

Can anyone tell me of the status/state of WLM (Workload Management) kernel scheduler systems in Linux? Alternatively, any user-space process goal-based load management programs?

This is a good start, but I'm not aware if these proposals are implemented?

AIX has inclusive WLM, anything comparable for Linux?

Best Answer

Not very sure, but the closest I can think of is cgroups:

Control Groups provide a mechanism for aggregating/partitioning sets of tasks, and all their future children, into hierarchical groups with specialized behaviour.
