Abstract
A system and method for cooperative notification offloading supports thread notification offloading in a multi-threaded messaging system such as a distributed data grid. Pending notifiers are maintained in a collection of pending notifiers. A signaling thread processes a first notifier in the collection of pending notifiers to wake a first thread. The first awoken thread processes additional notifiers in the collection of pending notifiers to wake additional threads. The additional awoken threads can process additional notifiers in a cycle until all pending notifiers in the collection are processed. Such cooperative notification offloading of notifier processing from the signaling thread improves performance of the signaling thread with respect to other tasks thereby improving performance of the signaling thread and the distributed data grid.
