Hello,

since the GSoC project to implement an optimized SMP scheduler with strong APA (Arbitrary Processor Affinity) support seems to take shape it would be good to create a name for this scheduler.

https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/5199580018769920/proposal/4779451107770368/

The proposal on the website is not publicly accessible. However, I've made the Google Docs version publicly accessible:

I need this name to generate the skeleton files for the scheduler implementation and its configuration.

My preference is APA, since three letter acronyms are quite popular, like EDF and CBS. So, I would omit that we actually support strong APA in the name. From my point of view a weak APA scheduler makes no sense for a supposed to be real-time operating system. In the documentation we should emphasis this.

I agree that a three letter acronym is quite popular and would make things easy, but I would still support strong APA as the name since it clearly states what the scheduler is doing.


New files are for example:

cpukit/score/include/rtems/score/schedulerapa.h
cpukit/score/include/rtems/score/schedulerapaimpl.h
cpukit/score/src/schedulerapa.c

Going by some of the existing filenames, I thought the files should be called `schedulerapasmp.c` and similarly for others. That is also the name I used in the proposal.
