Abstract
A processing device executes a multi-threaded rule engine having multiple threads. A first thread is associated with user interactions. A second thread is associated with timing events. A third thread is associated with asynchronous execution of the rule engine. A rule engine core is accessible to the second and third threads. The processing device receives user input and generates a first command to perform a first action in view of the user input while executing the first thread. The processing device stores the first command in a queue where the first command is one of multiple commands stored in the queue. The processing device retrieves the multiple commands from the queue and processes the multiple commands using the rule engine core while executing the third thread. The rule engine core is inaccessible to the second thread while in use by the third thread.
