Automatic policy selection

摘要

An arrangement, in a computer system, for coordinating scheduling of threads on a processor associated with a scheduling-enabled entity. The arrangement includes a policy database of scheduling policies. The arrangement further includes an automatic policy selector associated with the scheduling-enabled entity. The automatic policy selector is configured to automatically select one of the scheduling policies responsive to a triggering event that includes at least one of a first event and a second event. The first event represents a change in configuration of the scheduling-enabled entity and the second event represents a policy selection from a human operator. One of the scheduling policies is employed to schedule the threads on the processors after being selected by the automatic policy selector.
