changing scheduling algorithm linux procs
In Linux 2.2.x there are three classes of processes, as can be seen from the data definition for the scheduler (from linux/include/linux/sched.h):
/* Scheduling Policies
*/
#define SCHED_OTHER 0
#define SCHED_FIFO 1
#define SCHED_RR 2
SCHED_OTHER tasks are the normal user tasks (default).
Tasks running in SCHED_FIFO will never be preempted. They will leave the CPU only for waiting sync kernel events or if an explicit sleep or reschedule has been requested from user space.
