User Space Scheduler

Mission statement

There are common use cases in High Performance Computing (HPC) where a user space scheduler and a user space lightweight thread model work together to handle massively concurrent workloads.

Enterprise storage systems are designed to handle massively concurrent I/O workloads. The open source community currently does not have any project dedicated to handling this type of I/O workload. Our project will produce a lightweight thread and scheduling framework, which is consumable as a library/runtime, and will be suitable for Enterprise storage I/O workloads.
