QUALITY OF SERVICE CLASSES

摘要

In one embodiment, tasks executing on a data processing system can be associated with a Quality of Service (QoS) classification that is used to determine the priority values for multiple subsystems of the data processing system. The QoS classifications are propagated when tasks interact and the QoS classes are interpreted a multiple levels of the system to determine the priority values to set for the tasks. In one embodiment, one or more sensors coupled with the data processing system monitor a set of system conditions that are used in part to determine the priority values to set for a QoS class.

1. A data processing system comprising:
one or more processors; one or more sensors coupled to the one or more processors, to monitor a set of system conditions; a memory storage system coupled to the one or more processors; a priority matrix stored on the memory storage system, the priority matrix associated with at least one of multiple service classifications, wherein the priority matrix includes priority values associated with multiple system priorities; and a priority manager to set the multiple system priorities for a task based at least in part on the service classification of the task and the set of system conditions determined by the one or more sensors.
