A method in a computer system for coordinating scheduling of threads among a plurality of processors. The method includes collecting, using a cooperative scheduling component (CSC), system data pertaining to the plurality of processors. The method further includes calculating, using the CSC, unified scheduling-related parameters (USRPs) from the system data. The method additionally includes furnishing the USRPs from the CSC to at least two of a thread launcher, a thread balancer, and a thread stealer, whereby at least two of the thread launcher, the thread balancer, and the thread stealer employ the USRPs to perform their respective scheduling-related tasks.
