Abstract

Embodiments described herein provide multi-level scheduling for threads in a data processing system. One embodiment provides a data processing system comprising one or more processors, a computer-readable memory coupled to the one or more processors, the computer-readable memory to store instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, configure the one or more processors to receive execution threads for execution on the one or more processors, map the execution threads into a first plurality of buckets based at least in part on a quality of service class of the execution threads, schedule the first plurality of buckets for execution using a first scheduling algorithm, schedule a second plurality thread groups within the first plurality of buckets for execution using a second scheduling algorithm, and schedule a third plurality of threads within the second plurality of thread groups using a third scheduling algorithm.
