At the end of my day and tired, but why is this interesting? I can understand MP schedulers, I was super unhappy with the SGI scheduler back in the day, but MP schedulers are hard, you really don't want to move processes away from their cache if you can avoid it.

Uniprocessor schedulers seem trivial by comparison.

I agree uniprocessor schedulers are trivial by comparison to multiprocessor schedulers. However, it's also helpful to learn how to crawl before you try walking.
