Abstract
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. In response to receiving an indication of an event occurring, a search is performed for a queue in a set of queues on which to place a virtual processor that had been waiting on the event. Queues in the set of queues correspond to hyperthreads in a physical node in the plurality of physical nodes. The queues in the set of queues are visited according to a predetermined traversal order.
