System calls can include mutex lock, wait condition, and signal instructions. The thread controller includes a number of thread state, mutex, and condition variable registers used for executing the multithreading system calls. Threads can transition between several states including free, run, ready and wait. The wait state includes interrupt, condition, mutex, I-cache, and memory substates. A thread state transition controller controls thread states, while a thread instructions execution unit executes multithreading system calls and manages thread priorities to avoid priority inversion. A thread scheduler schedules threads according to their priorities.

Systems and methods are provided that schedule task requests within a computing system based upon the history of task requests. The history of task requests can be represented by a historical log that monitors the receipt of high priority task request submissions over time. This historical log in combination with other user defined scheduling rules is used to schedule the task requests. Task requests in the computer system are maintained in a list that can be divided into a hierarchy of queues differentiated by the level of priority associated with the task requests contained within that queue. The user-defined scheduling rules give scheduling priority to the higher priority task requests, and the historical log is used to predict subsequent submissions of high priority task requests so that lower priority task requests that would interfere with the higher priority task requests will be delayed or will not be scheduled for processing.

Prioritization of power throttling of servers in an information handling system may be based upon slot or location priority, subscription priority, and / or greatest power usage. A power system having a capacity of less than the maximum connected power load is monitored to determine the power being drawn therefrom. When the power drawn from the power supply system exceeds a first threshold, power throttling requests are issued to the appropriate servers until the power drawn from the power supply is less than a second threshold. The second threshold less than the first threshold. The appropriate servers may be configurable e.g., determined by a configurable prioritization schedule.

An adaptive partition scheduler is a priority-based scheduler that also provides execution time guarantees (fair-share). Execution time guarantees apply to threads or groups of threads when the system is overloaded. When the system is not overloaded, threads are scheduled based strictly on priority, maintaining strict real-time behavior. Even when overloaded, the scheduler provides real-time guarantees to a set of critical threads, as specified by the system architect.

Method, computer program product, and apparatus for efficiently dispatching threads in a multi-threaded communication library which become runnable by completion of an event. Each thread has a thread-specific structure containing a “ready flag” and a POSIX thread condition variable unique to that thread. Each message is assigned a “handle”. When a thread waits for a message, thread-specific structure is attached to the message handle being waited on, and the thread is enqueued, waiting for its condition variable to be signaled. When a message completes, the message matching logic sets the ready flag to READY, and causes the queue to be examined. The queue manager scans the queue of waiting threads, and sends a thread awakening condition signal to one of the threads with its ready flag set to READY. The queue manager can implement any desired policy, including First-In-First-Out (FIFO), Last-In-First-Out (LIFO), or some other thread priority scheduling policy. This ensures that the thread which is awakened has the highest priority message to be processed, and enhances the efficiency of message delivery. The priority of the message to be processed is computed based on the overall state of the communication subsystem.
