Abstract
Techniques are provided for routinely enqueuing events onto event queues by direct operation of an interrupt service routine (ISR) in kernel space when possible. Only when the event queue is unavailable does the ISR resort to offloading the enqueuing process to another kernel space thread. Unavailability can further be made uncommon by using separate event cores for different processing cores.
