Abstract
A hard real time (HRT) thread scheduler and a non-real time (NRT) thread scheduler for allocating processor resources among HRT threads and NRT threads are disclosed. The HRT thread scheduler communicates with a HRT thread table including a plurality of entries specifying a temporal order for allocating execution cycles to one or more HRT threads. If a HRT thread identified by the HRT thread table is unable to be scheduled during the current execution cycle, the NRT thread scheduler accesses an NRT thread table which includes a plurality of entries specifying a temporal order for allocating execution cycles to one or more NRT threads. In an execution cycle where a HRT thread is not scheduled, the NRT thread scheduler identifies an NRT thread from the NRT thread table and an instruction from the identified NRT thread is executed during the execution cycle.
