A method of co-locating threads and corresponding system are described. The method comprises a first thread executing on a first processor awakening a second thread for execution on a second processor and assigning the second thread to execute on the first processor based on a determination that the first thread awakened the second thread at a prior awakening of the second thread.

Wakeup-attribute-based allocation of threads to processors

Systems, methods, and devices, including computer executable instructions for transferring threads are described. The method comprises determining an idle processor by checking a handoff state of the processor prior to placing an identified runnable thread in a run queue of an idle processor. The method also comprises transferring the runnable thread to a determined idle processor by setting the handoff state of the processor to a handle of the runnable thread.
