Exploring AI-powered Kernel Schedulers with Rust
November 03 2025 - 16:30 (45 min )

Can we use machine learning to assist one of the most critical components of an operating system: the CPU scheduler?

In this talk, we explore how Rust and AI can be combined together to experiment with intelligent scheduling decisions in the Linux kernel.

LEVEL: Advanced

Crafting a Linux kernel scheduler in Rust

In the realm of operating systems, the heart of performance lies in the CPU scheduler: a critical component responsible for managing the execution of tasks on a system.
Playing around with CPU scheduling policies has always been a dream for many kernel hackers and OS enthusiasts. However, such material typically remains within the domain of a few core kernel developers with extensive years of experience.
What if we could bring this dream to life and make it really accessible, thanks to sched-ext, eBPF and Rust?
