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.

Computing task scheduling in a computer system utilizing efficient attributed priority queues

A method of rendering an object model includes modifying, by a first thread executing on a computer system that is coupled to a display screen, a current object model to generate a new object model that is stored at a first memory address. The method also includes storing, by the first thread, a copy of the new object model at a second memory address. The method further includes updating, by the first thread, a reference to identify the copy of the new object model. The method also includes rendering, by a second thread executing on the computer system, a renderable object model identified by the reference into a buffer that is converted into pixels on the display screen, the first thread being independent of the second thread.

Copy-on-write (COW) rendering of graphical object models

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.

A method relates to launching, by a processing device executing a virtual machine deployment application, an asset server communicatively coupled to a data storage, launching a container comprising a file server that stores configuration data associated with a web console, wherein the web console provide a user interface to access the virtual machine deployment application, recording, in a configuration data structure residing in the data storage, a network address associated with the container, retrieving, by the asset server, the configuration data stored in the file server using the network address recorded in the configuration data structure, and providing the configuration data to a cache associated with the web console to modify the user interface.
