Method for scheduling contexts based on statistics of memory system interactions in a computer system

摘要

A method schedules execution contexts in a computer system based on memory interactions. The computer system includes a processor and a hierarchical memory arranged in a plurality of levels. Memory transactions are randomly sampled for a plurality of contexts. The contexts can be threads, processes, or hardware contexts. Resource interactions of the plurality of contexts is estimated, and particular contexts are chosen to be scheduled based on the estimated resource interactions.
