Con Kolivas

Con Kolivas is an Australian anaesthetist. He has worked as a computer programmer on the Linux kernel and on the development of the cryptographic currency mining software CGMiner. His Linux contributions include patches for the kernel to improve its desktop performance, particularly reducing I/O impact.

Linux

Kolivas is most notable for his work with CPU scheduling, most significantly his implementation of "fair scheduling," which inspired Ingo Molnár to develop his Completely Fair Scheduler, as a replacement for the earlier O(1) scheduler, crediting Kolivas in his announcement. Kolivas developed several CPU schedulers such as the Staircase in 2004, then Rotating Staircase Deadline (RSDL) and subsequently Staircase Deadline (SD) schedulers to address interactivity concerns of the Linux kernel with respect to desktop computing. Additionally, he has written a "swap prefetch" patch, which allows processes to respond quickly after the operating system has been idle for some time and their working sets have been swapped out. Many of his experimental "-ck" patches, such as his prefetching and scheduling code, did not get merged with the official Linux kernel.

9963 Sandage

9963 Sandage, provisional designation 1992 AN, is a stony asteroid from the inner regions of the asteroid belt, about 5.5 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by American female astronomer Eleanor Helin at the U.S. Palomar Observatory in California on 9 January 1992.

The stony S-type asteroid is a member of the Phocaea family, a group of asteroids with similar orbital characteristics. It orbits the Sun at a distance of 1.7–3.0 AU once every 3 years and 7 months (1,308 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.28 and an inclination of 23 degrees from the plane of the ecliptic.

In 2012 and 2015, two photometric light-curve analysis at the Palomar Transient Factory and at Texas Tech's Preston Gott Observatory rendered a well-defined rotation period of 4.65 hours with a high brightness amplitude of 0.56 and 0.43 in magnitude, respectively. The Collaborative Asteroid Lightcurve Link assumes an albedo 0.23, which is a typical value for the surface of stony asteroids, and calculates a diameter of 5.45 kilometers based on an absolute magnitude of 13.53.
