    [$] Improved load balancing with machine learning

    Description:
    The extensible scheduler class ("sched_ext") allows the loading of a custom CPU scheduler into the kernel
    as a set of BPF functions; it was merged for the 6.12 kernel release.
    Since then, sched_ext has enabled a wide range of experimentation with scheduling algorithms. At the 2025 Open
    Source Summit North America , Ching-Chun ("Jim") Huang presented work
    that has been done to apply (local) machine learning to the problem of scheduling processes on complex systems.
