Re: [android-kernel] how operating system assigns different tasks to quad-core

[Prabagaran Thangavel]

Android(Linux) Kernel has a scheduler. It basically has one runqueue per core of the processor(quadcore has 4 runqueue).

Runqueue has list of processes that are ready to run and the scheduler schedules these process to the cpu.

You can look into Professional Linux Kernel Architecture book.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

I am a new guy to android kernel development, recently I am thinking the quad-core phones like the samsung galaxy s3.  How android kernel uses these cores? Does anyone have some experience on this or give some advice where I should start with? Thanks.
