Ingo Molnar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ingo Molnár, currently employed by Red Hat, is a Hungarian Linux kernel hacker. He is most well-known for his O(1)-scheduler in the 2.6.x kernel series, the in-kernel TUX HTTP / FTP server, as well as his work to enhance thread handling. 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.
