Abstract
A circuit arrangement and method for a data processing system for executing a plurality of tasks with a central processing unit having a processing capacity allocated to the processing unit; the circuit arrangement being configured to allocate the processing unit to the specific tasks in a time-staggered manner for processing, so that the tasks are processed in an order to be selected and tasks not having a current processing request are skipped over in the order during the processing; the circuit arrangement including a prioritization order control unit to determine the order in which the tasks are executed; and in response to each selection of a task for processing, the order of the tasks being redetermined and the selection being controlled so that for a number N of tasks, a maximum of N time units elapse until an active task is once more allocated processing capacity by the processing unit.
