Abstract
A scheduler in a process of a computer system detects a task with an associated execution context that has not been previously invoked by the scheduler. The scheduler executes the task on a processing resource without performing a context switch if the processing resource executed a previous task to completion. The scheduler stores the execution context originally associated with the task for later use.
