Abstract
Systems and methods relate to managing shared resources in a multithreaded processor comprising two or more processing threads. Danger levels for the two or more threads are determined, wherein the danger level of a thread is based on a potential failure of the thread to meet a deadline due to unavailability of a shared resource. Priority levels associated with the two or more threads are also determined, wherein the priority level is higher for a thread whose failure to meet a deadline is unacceptable and the priority level is lower for a thread whose failure to meet a deadline is acceptable. The two or more threads are scheduled based at least on the determined danger levels for the two or more threads and priority levels associated with the two or more threads.
