  • Publication number: 20160357600
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems, methods, and computer-readable media directed to scheduling threads in a multi-processing environment that can resolve a priority inversion. Each thread has a scheduling state and a context. A scheduling state can include attributes such as a processing priority, classification (background, fixed priority, real-time), a quantum, scheduler decay, and a list of threads that may be waiting on the thread to make progress. A thread context can include registers, stack, other variables, and one or more mutex flags. A first thread can hold a resource with a mutex, the first thread having a low priority. A second thread having a scheduling state with a high priority can be waiting on the resource and may be blocked behind the mutex held by the first process. A scheduler can execute the context of the lower priority thread using the scheduler state of the second, higher priority thread. More than one thread can be waiting on the resource held by the first thread.

  • Publication number: 20150347189
    Abstract: In one embodiment, tasks executing on a data processing system can be associated with a Quality of Service (QoS) classification that is used to determine the priority values for multiple subsystems of the data processing system. The QoS classifications are propagated when tasks interact and the QoS classes are interpreted a multiple levels of the system to determine the priority values to set for the tasks. In one embodiment, one or more sensors coupled with the data processing system monitor a set of system conditions that are used in part to determine the priority values to set for a QoS class.
