MULTI-CORE PROCESSOR SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSIGNING TASKS IN A MULTI-CORE PROCESSOR SYSTEM

摘要

A multi-core processor system and a method for assigning tasks are provided. The multi-core processor system includes a plurality of processor cores, configured to perform a plurality of tasks, and each of the tasks is in a respective one of a plurality of scheduling classes. The multi-core processor system further includes a task scheduler, configured to obtain first task assignment information about tasks in a first scheduling class assigned to the processor cores, obtain second task assignment information about tasks in one or more other scheduling classes assigned to the processor cores, and refer to the first task assignment information and the second task assignment information to assign a runnable task in the first scheduling class to one of the processor cores.

1. A method for assigning tasks in a multi-core processor system, wherein the multi-core processor system comprises a plurality of processor cores, and each of the tasks is in a respective one of a plurality of scheduling classes, the method comprising:
obtaining first task assignment information about tasks in a first scheduling class assigned to the processor cores; obtaining second task assignment information about tasks in one or more other scheduling classes assigned to the processor cores, wherein each of the one or more other scheduling classes is different from the first scheduling class; and referring to the first task assignment information and the second task assignment information to assign a runnable task in the first scheduling class to one of the processor cores.
