The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for protected mode scheduling of operations. Protected mode (e.g., user mode) scheduling can facilitate the development of programming frameworks that better reflect the requirements of the workloads through the use of workload-specific execution abstractions. In addition, the ability to define scheduling policies tuned to the characteristics of the hardware resources available and the workload requirements has the potential of better system scaling characteristics. Further, protected mode scheduling decentralizes the scheduling responsibility by moving significant portions of scheduling functionality from supervisor mode (e.g., kernel mode) to an application. |
