Abstract

A technique for scheduling tasks in a storage system includes predicting excess capacity of processing resources over a known interval of time and determining a quantity of credit based on the predicted capacity. The technique further includes holding back a requested increase in the priority of one or more speed-noncritical tasks by consuming a portion of the credit and thus allowing one or more speed-critical tasks to run with undiminished access to the processing resources.
