  * @brief Strong APA Scheduler
  *
- * This is an implementation of the global fixed priority scheduler (G-FP).  It
- * uses one ready chain per priority to ensure constant time insert operations.
- * The scheduled chain uses linear insert operations and has at most processor
- * count entries.  Since the processor and priority count are constants all
- * scheduler operations complete in a bounded execution time.
- *
- * The the_thread preempt mode will be ignored.
+ * This is an implementation of the Strong APA scheduler defined by
+ * Cerqueira et al. in Linux's Processor Affinity API, Refined:
+ * Shifting Real-Time Tasks Towards Higher Schedulability.
  *
+ * The scheduled and ready nodes are accessed via the
+ * Scheduler_strong_APA_Context::Ready which helps in backtracking when a
+ * node which is executing on a CPU gets blocked. New node is allocated to
+ * the cpu by checking all the executing nodes in the affinity set of the
+ * node and the subsequent nodes executing on the processors in its
+ * affinity set.
