Hello,

Can someone explain whether we have a 2-level scheduler mechanism or a
unified scheduler? I mean, we have the unix scheduler which schedules
depending on class (realtime, roundrobin etc..). Does this interact
with a thread level scheduler? If anyway a single process is
considered to be a shell with a single thread(KSE) in it, then why not
perform just a single level of scheduling?

thanks
