Main Features

• Preemptive Full Tickless Kernel at 500Hz w/ Tuned CPU Core Scheduler.
• RCU Boost for better responsiveness and lower overall system latency.
• Block Layer w/ multi-threaded runqueue for high I/O throughput.
• Caching, Virtual Memory Manager and CPUFreq Governor improvements.
• BBR TCP Congestion Control + FQ-PIE Packet Scheduling and AQM Algorithm [5.8].
• ORC Unwinder for Kernel Stack Traces (debuginfo) implementation.
• Third-party patchset available: ZSTD kernel, initrd and modules support [5.8][5.6-rt], Full x86_64 FSGSBASE instructions [5.8], Clear Linux [partial], CK's Hrtimer Patchset [5.8][5.4], Wine / Proton Fsync, PCIe ACS Override, BMQ Process Scheduler [5.4 stock disabled], Aufs [5.4] and GCC graysky's.
