2.  Detect CPU bound and I/O bound processes  Increase process priority for CPU bound processes and lower nice value  Lower priority for I/O bound processes and increase nice value  Control operation using a system call  Toggle functionality  Set parameters  Log detection and changes to process priority

3.  Virtual machine (VM)  2GB RAM  2 2.1GHz cores  Ubuntu 12.10  3.8-rc6 Kernel

4.  Kernel/sched/fair.c  Include/linux/syscalls.h  Arch/x86/syscalls.tbl

10.  Phoronix  Automated open source testing framework  http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/ http://www.phoronix-test-suite.com/  Chess test suite  Tscp – AI algorithm for the game of chess  Custom AI project test  Classification

13.  High deviations in collected data both with and without modifications  Caused by virtual environment?  Time skew issue wasted a lot of time  Would have tested/validated modifications more  Would have cleaned up the code a bit more  Would have explored rt, se  Etc.  Slow VM!!!!
