Hi all:
I'm eager to know what is OpenVZ container scheduling granularity, 1ms or
something??? I really need information about this.

It's floating, depends on priorities. Plus more important for latency is not granularity, but preemptiveness.

Much thanks Kirill, I really appreciate your reply! My question is:
Suppose two containers exist on my machine which can use 0%-100% CPU, each
of them has only one active process. If I sleep one container's process for
1us which makes this container has nothing to do, will the the container be
scheduled off and the other container gets scheduled? Is 1us too small for
container scheduling?? I want to know if this case is possible. Thanks very
much.

if CPU has nothing to do since your app went to sleep (even for 1us), it will be rescheduled to another CPU. Just like for conventional tasks in Linux.

OpenVZ is shared Kernel so you must think of scheduling per
process(-group) like in a conventional Kernel, not per container.

Thanks very much lst_hoe02, if I'm using kernel-2.6.24 which uses CFS
scheduler with nanosecond *granularity, processes *across* different
containers/groups should also have this * *granularity all right? *

Just to clarify, the OpenVZ project has dropped the 2.6.24 branch. What you have may still be supported by Debian/Ubuntu perhaps?

For info about the various OpenVZ kernel branches, please see:

http://wiki.openvz.org/Download/kernel

Just saying.

TYL,

I'm using the old 2.6.24/2.6.24-ovz009.1. It works well for me.

To my knowledge OpenVZ does not alter the scheduler, but only
priorities. So yes it should work, but others may have more insight
then me.
