Abstract

As multicore processors are becoming the norm, an efficient scheduling of cores to the threads is fundamentally important for multicore computing. To study the performance of a new scheduling algorithm for the future multicore systems with hundreds and thousands of cores, we need a flexible scheduling simulation testbed. Designing such a multicore scheduling simulation testbed and illustrating its functionality are the main contributions of this paper. The proposed scheduling simulation testbed is developed using Java and expected to be released for public use.
