Abstract
A method and an apparatus for managing and scheduling tasks in a many-core system are presented. The method improves process management efficiency in the many-core system. The method includes, when a process needs to be added to a task linked list, adding a process descriptor pointer of the process to a task descriptor entry corresponding to the process, and adding the task descriptor entry to the task linked list; if a process needs to be deleted, finding a task descriptor entry corresponding to the process, and removing the task descriptor entry from the task linked list; and when a processor core needs to run a new task, removing an available priority index register with a highest priority from a queue of the priority index register.
