Hybrid CPU Scheduling Algorithm The purpose of multi-programming is to maximize the CPU utilization through some process running at all times in the CPU.

Researchers have detailed the SQUIP attack, which is particularly worrisome for users of AMD Zen 1, Zen 2 and Zen 3 processors. Researchers were able measure the precise degree of Scheduler Queue ...

To achieve all of this, Google built a custom CPU scheduler “ with significantly better latency guarantees and co-scheduling behavior than Linux’s default scheduler.” ...

The majority of AMD’s CPU lineup – essentially any processor using Zen 1, Zen 2, or Zen 3 cores with simultaneous multithreading (SMT) enabled – is vulnerable to a newly disclosed side channel attack.

The new Linux 6.6 kernel is now available, integrating an array of updated capabilities for workstation, server and cloud deployments.

Together, they can be used in a so-called Transient Scheduler Attack (TSA), a side-channel, or timing-based attack that likely exploits transient scheduling decisions made by the CPU scheduler to ...
