Abstract

A method and an apparatus for scheduling commands in a virtual computing environment includes picking a command. It is determined whether the command is a synchronization command or a conditional command. A synchronization command is an independent command. A conditional command is a dependent command that depends on a synchronization command. In response to the command being determined as the synchronization command, a waiting queue is enabled for the command, the waiting queue storing conditional commands dependent on a running synchronization command. The command is dispatched to a processing engine.
