schedcp

Overview

SchedCP is an experimental project that provides e2e automatic scheduler selection, workload profiling, and performance optimization using the sched-ext framework. It includes an AI agent-powered autotune tool and a dedicated MCP server with tools for list_schedulers, run_scheduler, stop_scheduler, get_execution_status, create_and_verify_scheduler, system_monitor, and workload management. The project is based on academic research with a published paper and aims to create an 'Agentic OS' that can optimize system components without human intervention.

FAQ

What is sched-ext and why is it required?

sched-ext is a Linux kernel BPF scheduler framework. SchedCP requires it to create and run custom schedulers. You need kernel 6.12+ with sched-ext support.

How do I use the autotune tool?

Simply run: `./autotune/target/release/autotune cc "<your workload command>"`. The AI agent will automatically select and configure the best scheduler for your workload.
