# scx_layered | ||
|
||
This is a single user-defined scheduler used within [sched_ext](https://github.com/sched-ext/scx/tree/main), which is a Linux kernel feature which enables implementing kernel thread schedulers in BPF and dynamically loading them. [Read more about sched_ext](https://github.com/sched-ext/scx/tree/main). | ||
|
||
## Overview | ||
|
||
A highly configurable multi-layer BPF / user space hybrid scheduler. | ||
|
||
scx_layered allows the user to classify tasks into multiple layers, and apply | ||
different scheduling policies to those layers. For example, a layer could be | ||
created of all tasks that are part of the `user.slice` cgroup slice, and a | ||
policy could be specified that ensures that the layer is given at least 80% CPU | ||
utilization for some subset of CPUs on the system. | ||
|
||
## How To Install | ||
|
||
Available as a [Rust crate](https://crates.io/crates/scx_layered): `cargo add scx_layered` | ||
|
||
## Typical Use Case | ||
|
||
scx_layered is designed to be highly customizable, and can be targeted for | ||
specific applications. For example, if you had a high-priority service that | ||
required priority access to all but 1 physical core to ensure acceptable p99 | ||
latencies, you could specify that the service would get priority access to all | ||
but 1 core on the system. If that service ends up not utilizing all of those | ||
cores, they could be used by other layers until they're needed. | ||
|
||
## Production Ready? | ||
|
||
Yes. If tuned correctly, scx_layered should be performant across various CPU | ||
architectures and workloads. | ||
|
||
That said, you may run into an issue with infeasible weights, where a task with | ||
a very high weight may cause the scheduler to incorrectly leave cores idle | ||
because it thinks they're necessary to accommodate the compute for a single | ||
task. This can also happen in CFS, and should soon be addressed for | ||
scx_layered. |
