Ingo Molnár
Ingo Molnár, currently employed by Red Hat, is a Hungarian Linux kernel hacker. He is most
well-known for his O(1) and CFS
scheduler in the 2.6.x kernel series, the in-kernel TUX HTTP / FTP server, as well as his work to enhance
thread handling.[1] He also wrote a kernel security feature called "Exec Shield",
which prevents stack-based buffer overflow exploits in the x86 architecture by disabling the execute permission for
the stack. His most recent project is the realtime preemption patch and the -rt tree, which aims to bring
hard-realtime scheduling latencies (50–60 microseconds worst-case execution
time) to the Linux kernel.
Most recently, he has been working on the Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS), an O(log n) scheduler that is included as of the 2.6.23 Linux kernel.[2]
