Abstract
A plurality of dispatch queues corresponding to a plurality of processing entities are maintained, wherein each dispatch queue includes one or more task control blocks or is empty, and wherein an ordered list of dispatch queues is maintained for each processing entity of the plurality of processing entities. A state for each of the plurality of dispatch queues is determined and the determined state is compared to a desired state for the plurality of dispatch queues. A task control block is moved from one dispatch queue to another dispatch queue, in response to the comparing of the determined state to the desired state for the plurality of dispatch queues.
