Abstract
Hierarchical dynamic scheduling is disclosed. A plurality of physical nodes is included in a computer system. Each node includes a plurality of processors. Each processor includes a plurality of hyperthreads. An abstraction of the nodes, processors, and hyperthreads forms a hierarchy. Upon receiving an indication that a hyperthread should be assigned, a dynamic search of the hierarchy is performed, beginning at the leaf level, for a process to assign to the hyperthread.
