Schedulable Kqueue
Schedulable Kqueue is a new design to FreeBSD Kqueue that improves application tail latency and low-latency throughput. SKQ introduces a new scalable architecture and event scheduling. We provide multiple scheduling policies that improve cache locality and reduce workload imbalance. SKQ also enables applications to prioritize processing latency-sensitive requests over regular requests.
