This scheduler, by its nature, has the ability to make nearly-optimal scheduling decisions - this is different from our existing JIT-style schedulers, which don't optimize over the entire DAG, but only look at a few tasks currently in front of them.
To make this scheduler work, some additional improvements were made:
