So, I’ve been pretty busy lately with MBA school, book writing, full work plate, businesses to run, personal issues, and attempting a life on top of that. And thus the genetic library has suffered due with a lack of updates. But enough of my excuses…what are the future plans to revive this patchset.

I have some good news. IBM has generously given me 1 PY of help to work on the genetic library which I will be overseeing. Unfortunately, I will still have my normal work responsibilities to attend to, so only my “free work time” will be available. This PY will attempt to create a plugin for the O(1) scheduler in order to increase the likelihood that the genetic lib will ever make it into the kernel. Resumes are being accepted as we speak. :)

In other good news, I have a “I/O Workload Fingerprinting” feature coming out on the genetic library, which will enable faster convergence. This feature is the main topic of my 2006 OLS paper, and thus I will actually have to do it.

Stay tuned for updates.
