From the official announcement: Since March 30 2014, the new scheduling class SCHED_DEADLINE is available in the Linux kernel (from version 3.14). This opportunity enables the enforcement of a real-time behavior to the scheduled threads. The Workshop on Real-Time Scheduling in the Linux Kernel (RTS-LIKE) aims at introducing the participants to real-time issues when scheduling threads, and present how this issues are addressed with the SCHED_DEADLINE scheduling class. Finally, the SCHED_DEADLINE internals and the current development status will be presented, as well as an open discussion on future directions of the Linux kernel scheduler.
