Abstract
A data processing system with technology for dynamically grouping threads includes a machine-readable medium and first and second cores, each with multiple logical processors (LPs). The system also comprises an operating system which, when executed, enables the system to select an LP to receive a new low-priority thread and to assign the new low-priority thread to the selected LP. The operation of selecting an LP to receive the new low-priority thread comprises, when the first core has multiple idle LPs, automatically determining whether the second core has an idle LP and a busy LP that is executing a current low-priority thread. In response to determining that the second core has an idle LP and a busy LP that is executing a current low-priority thread, the system automatically selects the idle LP in the second core to receive the new low-priority thread. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
