Abstract

Methods and apparatus for data request scheduling in performing parallel IO operations are disclosed. In one example, IO requests directed to an operating system having an IO scheduling component are processed. There, an IO request directed from an application to the operating system is intercepted. A determination is made whether the IO request is subject to immediate processing using available parallel processing resources. When it is determined that the IO request is subject to immediate processing using the available parallel processing resources, the IO scheduling component of the operating system is bypassed. The IO request is directly and immediately processed and passed back to the application using the available parallel processing resources.
