  • Computing task scheduling in a computer system utilizing efficient attributed priority queues
    Patent number: 12164955
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for mechanisms for scheduling computing tasks in a computer system. A method of the disclosure includes determining one or more attributes associated with a computing task, determining an ordered list of the attributes in view of priorities associated with the attributes, generating a first numerical representation of the attributes in view of the ordered list of the attributes, determining a second numerical representation of a priority of the computing task, and determining a third numerical representation of a total priority of the computing task in view of the first numerical representation and the second numerical representation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 8, 2021
    Date of Patent: December 10, 2024
    Assignee: Red Hat, Inc.
    Inventors: Nathaniel McCallum, Monis Khan, Benjamin Petersen, Jonathan Toppins

  • Computing task scheduling in a computer system utilizing efficient attributed priority queues
    Patent number: 10942768
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for mechanisms for scheduling computing tasks in a computer system. A method of the disclosure includes maintaining a priority queue comprising a plurality of computing tasks sorted in view of a plurality of numerical representations of priorities associated with the plurality of computing tasks; determining an attribute mask for a processing unit of a computer system, the attribute mask comprising a numerical representation of at least one attribute of the processing unit; and identifying, in view of the attribute mask, a computing task in the priority queue of the sorted computing tasks for processing by the processing unit of the computer system.
