Crafting a Linux Kernel Scheduler in Rust

Explore the intricacies of CPU scheduling in this 57-minute conference talk from RustLab that demonstrates how to create a fully functional Linux scheduler using Rust programming language. Dive deep into the implementation details of scx_rustland, a user-space Linux scheduler that combines sched-ext and eBPF technologies. Learn how these modern tools make kernel development more accessible, breaking down traditional barriers that typically limited such development to experienced kernel programmers. Discover the fundamental concepts of operating system performance optimization through practical examples of CPU scheduling policies, making complex kernel development concepts more approachable for developers interested in systems programming.
