    Gave this a try and I'm happy to see that the task queue enter/exit starvation which I reported via email last year seems to be gone. Very nice results overall!

      I have to check back the email to recap the issue you reported. But I believed it has been fixed in PDS. :)

      Anyway, once again, use https://gitlab.com/alfredchen/bmq/issues to report bugs, blog/email are not good place for bug tracing.

    hi, i have freezes on vulkan games, pds-mq have this same problem and this fixed by ( yield_type 2, rr_interval 1 ) and this works really good,
    on bmq i tried change yield_type from 1 to 0 and CONFIG_SCHED_TIMESLICE from 4 to 1 ( this decrease micro stuttering ) ( not fully helped )

      Thanks for the feedback.Sorry that no workaround in BMQ for your vulkan games currently.
      Setting yield_type to 0 normally just make yield behaviors worst. And CONFIG_SCHED_TIMESLICE is strongly not recommended to be changed.
      Will introduce yield_type 2 in the further BMQ release, hopefully can solve yield problems.

      @Anonymous above
      Just found an obviously bug in yield implementation, which make yield_type 1 works as yield_type 0 for NORMAL tasks. The fix is push as https://gitlab.com/alfredchen/linux-bmq/commit/3cf2f8b7d97a565764cf42132522266db5f86739
      Would you retest vulkan games on BMQ 0.91 and with the above fix? Many thanks.
