Abstract
Dispatching improvements in operating systems are described for multiprogrammed data processing systems. A common priority dispatching mechanism for applications that span multiple address spaces in multi-address space operating systems is provided where multiple, dispatchable operating system processes operating in different address spaces but on behalf of a common application can all be dispatched at the same priority of the application rather than at the priority of the particular address space in which each individual process operates. The system further enables individual processes of a distributed application, that operate under different host operating systems in a connected complex to run at the common priority of the distributed application. High priority processes are given the capability to avoid becoming blocked by low priority processes for extended periods of time when serialization must occur on common resources in the system.
