  • Batch-wise handling of signals in a processing system
    Patent number: 6662203
    Abstract: The present invention relates to multiprocessing systems in which signals or processes are scheduled in order of their priority level. The invention is based on batch-wise acceptance and scheduling of job signals, and utilizes at least one delay queue for temporarily storing job signals to the processing system before they are accepted for scheduling. The processing system further comprises circuitry for batch-wise insertion of the temporarily stored job signals into the job scheduler of the multiprocessing system. In this way, the utilization of the parallel processing units is increased and the number of changes between different priority levels in the multiprocessing system is minimized.
