Meaning all set of tasks should be able to use this policy. This should include any Java threads also. JVM by itslef provides a priority driven policy to its threads. JVM sits on the kernel. Modification to JVM is also required to schedule threads cyclically. But first I am trying to get this working with the kernel and then later with JVM. If you need any more information, I will be glad to provide them. I would like to direct you to a website of a course offered at Cornell university where this assignment is posted. I want to achieve something similar to this. Here is the link to that website. http://www.cs.cornell.edu/Courses/cs415/2000fa/scheduler.html Please Help me.
