Grazie Thomas

Il nostro amico Thomas Gleixner ce l'ha con gli accademici (eccetto un certo gruppetto a Pisa...)
Looking beyond the current code, Gleixner outlined two potential future features. The first is non-priority-based scheduling, which is needed to solve certain kinds of problems, but brings with it a whole new set of problems. Even though priorities are not used, there are still "priority-inversion-like problems" that will have to be solved with mechanisms similar to priority inheritance. Academics have proved that such schedulers can work on uni-processor systems, but have just now started to "understand that there is this thing called SMP". Though there is a group in Pisa, Italy (working on deadline scheduling) that Gleixner specifically excluded from his complaints about academic researchers.
