linux kernel scheduler

[Yoann]

Hello

For a system administration lesson, I have to do a presentation about the
linux kernel scheduler. I would like to present the difference between the
scheduler of the 2.4.X and th 2.6.X, but start the analyse from sources will a
little bit difficult, I try to find information on google, but I've found
nothing that explain really how the scheduler work, Only general information
about scheduler. Is there any document or book where I can find this kind of
information ?

thanks for your help and merry Christmas
Yoann

I recently purchased "Linux Kernel Development" by Robert Love. I
haven't finished it yet, but so far I would give it great reviews.
It has a very simple style and is easy to understand. The book solely
covers the 2.6 kernel and explains where it differentiates from the
earlier kernels. Chapter 3 is dedicated to Scheduling and will
give you all the information you need as far as how the 2.6 kernel
does scheduling. For the 2.4 kernel there is plenty of documentation
available on that already.

Yes that's the one.
