Interprocess resource-based dynamic scheduling system and method

摘要

A method and system for scheduling tasks in a processing system. In one embodiment, the method comprises processing tasks from a primary work queue, wherein the tasks consume resources that are operable to be released. Whenever the volume of resources that have been consumed exceeds a threshold, the processor executes tasks from a secondary work queue for a period of time. The secondary work queue is comprised of tasks from the primary work queue that can release the resources; the secondary work queue can be sorted according to the volume of resources that can be released.
