PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the usage of a fast I/O mode by using thread scheduling, and to deliver data from a device driver to an application. SOLUTION: When the amount of data in a data queue for storing data ready for delivery is low, the thread scheduling of this system is modified to promote the thread of the device driver to give the test driver opportunity to place more data in the data queue for consumption by the application. The promotion of the thread of the device driver may be done by being switched from the application thread to another thread (not necessarily the device driver thread), boosting the device driver's priority, and/or lowering the priority of the application, etc. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
