  • Efficient processor load balancing using predication
    Patent number: 10296378
    Abstract: A system and methods embodying some aspects of the present embodiments for efficient load balancing using predication flags are provided. The load balancing system includes a first processing unit, a second processing unit, and a shared queue. The first processing unit is in communication with a first queue. The second processing unit is in communication with a second queue. The first and second queues are each configured to hold a packet. The shared queue is configured to maintain a work assignment, wherein the work assignment is to be processed by either the first or second processing unit.
    Type: Grant
