International Classification:

G06F 9/48
G06F 9/30

Abstract:

In an embodiment, a processor includes a plurality of processing engines (PEs) to execute threads, and a guide unit. The guide unit is to: monitor execution characteristics of the plurality of PEs and the threads; generate a plurality of PE rankings, each PE ranking including the plurality of PEs in a particular order; and store the plurality of PE rankings in a memory to be provided to a scheduler, the scheduler to schedule the threads on the plurality of PEs using the plurality of PE rankings. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

International Classification:

G06F 9/48
G06F 9/30
G06F 9/50

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed to dynamically prioritizing, selecting or ordering a plurality threads for execution by processor circuitry based on a quality of service and/or class of service value/indicia assigned to the thread by an operating system executed by the processor circuitry. As threads are executed by processor circuitry, the operating system dynamically updates/associates respective class of service data with each of the plurality of threads. The current quality of service/class of service data assigned to the thread by the operating system is stored in a manufacturer specific register (MSR) associated with the respective thread. Selection circuitry polls the MSRs on a periodic, aperiodic, intermittent, continuous, or event-driven basis and determines an execution sequence based on the current class of service value associated with each of the plurality of threads.

International Classification:

G06F 9/50
G06F 9/455

Abstract:

Apparatuses, methods and storage medium associated with scheduling of threads and/or virtual machines, are disclosed herein. In embodiments, an apparatus is provided with a scheduler of an operating system and/or a virtual machine monitor. The scheduler is to retrieve or receive capabilities of the cores of one or more multi-core processors of the apparatus with diverse capabilities, and schedule a plurality of threads for execution on selected one or ones of the cores, based at least in part on the capabilities of the cores and characteristics of the plurality of threads. The virtual machine monitor is to retrieve or receive capabilities of the cores, and schedule a plurality of virtual machines for execution on selected one or ones of the cores, based at least in part on the capabilities of the cores and respective priorities of the virtual machines. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
