Abstract
A scheduler in a process of a computer system includes a respective scheduling collection for each scheduling node in the scheduler. The scheduling collections are mapped into at least a partial search order based on one or more execution metrics. When a processing resource in a scheduling node becomes available, the processing resource first attempts to locate a task to execute in a scheduling collection corresponding to the scheduling node before searching other scheduling collections in an order specified by the search order.
