15 help
16 This is the traditional Linux preemption model, geared towards
17 throughput. It will still provide good latencies most of the
18 time, but there are no guarantees and occasional longer delays
19 are possible.
20
21 Select this option if you are building a kernel for a server or
22 scientific/computation system, or if you want to maximize the
23 raw processing power of the kernel, irrespective of scheduling
24 latencies.

26config PREEMPT_VOLUNTARY
27 bool "Voluntary Kernel Preemption (Desktop)"
28 help
29 This option reduces the latency of the kernel by adding more
30 "explicit preemption points" to the kernel code. These new
31 preemption points have been selected to reduce the maximum
32 latency of rescheduling, providing faster application reactions,
33 at the cost of slightly lower throughput.
34
35 This allows reaction to interactive events by allowing a
36 low priority process to voluntarily preempt itself even if it
37 is in kernel mode executing a system call. This allows
38 applications to run more 'smoothly' even when the system is
39 under load.

47 help
48 This option reduces the latency of the kernel by making
49 all kernel code (that is not executing in a critical section)
50 preemptible. This allows reaction to interactive events by
51 permitting a low priority process to be preempted involuntarily
52 even if it is in kernel mode executing a system call and would
53 otherwise not be about to reach a natural preemption point.
54 This allows applications to run more 'smoothly' even when the
55 system is under load, at the cost of slightly lower throughput
56 and a slight runtime overhead to kernel code.
57
58 Select this if you are building a kernel for a desktop or
59 embedded system with latency requirements in the milliseconds
60 range.
