Hello again.
I have another question. Is it possible to have Classic, OS X, Darwin
and Linux on the same machine?. I would really like to make some
comparisons among OS's to try to bring the best of them to Darwin.
Particularly I'm concerned about:
- Quality scheduling: Solaris has the most impressive scheduling system.
Almost no load (except for "while(1) { fork(); }" executed without
limits) can seriously affect its responsiveness. I would like to help
bring such scheduling performance to Darwin.
- I/O Performance: although things have improved dramatically, I think
Darwin's I/O performance is not yet at best levels (CAUTION: I'm judging
from OS X since I have not yet a Darwin copy, I may be wrong, it is up
to you to prove me that), however I need to setup testing plans and
tools, if you don't already have some. I would like to test I/O at the
different arenas and draw conclusions. These arenas are basically
network and disk I/O. USB and FireWire I/O seem to be fine, but testing
and benchmarks should prove that too.
