Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for supporting operation of a plurality of software plugins of an IHS (Information Handling System). Incoming plugin commands are received and stored to a queue of a plurality of progressively weighted queues. The weighted queue is selected for storing the incoming plugin command based on a time constraint associated with the command. A proximate command is selected for processing from a queue of the plurality of weighted queues based on a weighted time for processing the proximate command. A recipient plugin of the proximate command is determined. Any plugin groups that the recipient is a member of are identified. The plugins of the first plugin group, including the recipient plugin, are activated to allocate use of IHS resources to the activated plugin.
