Systems, devices, and techniques for preempting and reassigning tasks within a multiprocessor system

摘要

In a system having multiple processors, idle processors are wakened in anticipation of tasks that may be subsequently queued. When interrupting a first processor to execute a particular task, a scheduler may also send interrupts to idle or otherwise available processors, instructing the idle processors to begin monitoring task queues and to find and execute compatible tasks that may be subsequently queued.
