Package: ulatencyd (0.5.0-7)

[ Source: ulatencyd  ]

Daemon to minimize latency on a linux system using cgroups

Ulatency is a daemon that controls how the Linux kernel will spend it's resources on the running processes. It uses dynamic cgroups to give the kernel hints and limitations on processes.

It strongly supports the lua scripting language for writing rules and the scheduler code.

The Linux scheduler does a pretty good job to give the available resources to all processes, but this may not be the best user experience in the desktop case. ulatencyd monitors the system and categorizes the running processes into cgroups. Processes that run wild to slow down the system by causing massive swaping will be isolated.
