Description-en: scriptable latency regulator using cgroups (server)
The userspace latency daemon controls how the Linux kernel spends its
resources on the running processes. It uses dynamic cgroups to give the
kernel hints on how to optimize process scheduling.
.
It is fully scriptable in Lua, to support writing custom rules and
scheduler code.
.
The Linux scheduler does a pretty good job of sharing available resources
out to all processes, but this may not be the best user experience on the
desktop. ulatencyd monitors the system and categorizes the running processes
into cgroups. Processes that run wild and slow down the system will be
isolated.
