Abstract
A safety thread scheduler configured to schedule a check thread for a critical thread being run on one of a plurality of execution units, the check thread being a duplicate of the critical thread, wherein the safety thread scheduler is configured to schedule the check thread to begin being run on a second one of the plurality of execution units before the end of a safety time-window for scheduling the check thread. The safety thread scheduler is further configured to allow the check thread, when the check thread is running on the second one of the plurality of execution units, to be interrupted by a further thread and to re-schedule the check thread to be resumed by expiry of a re-scheduling time limit.
