Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Method and system for scheduling threads within a multiprocessor data processing system using an affinity scheduler." This invention discloses a method for establishing a priority order of threads executed within a multiprocessor data processing system. The priority order is maintained on a global queue, which is ordered by selecting a most favored runnable thread from among a current thread, a favored thread, or an affinity thread. Once the thread is chosen, it is removed from a run queue and executed on a selected processor, with an affinity thread pointer updated accordingly.
Another significant patent is "Method and system for scheduling threads and handling exceptions within a multiprocessor data processing system." This invention addresses the handling of exceptions generated by a particular processor among multiple processors. It includes a global queue for dispatching threads in priority order and local dispatch flags associated with each processor. The method ensures that the state of a thread is saved during an exception, allowing for a structured approach to resuming thread execution based on specific events.
