Abstract
In one embodiment, a method for scheduling tasks comprises, at a task scheduler of a processing node of a plurality of processing nodes: retrieving a first task descriptor from a local memory of the task scheduler, the task descriptor corresponding to a task scheduled for execution at the current time and comprising at least a task execution time, a frequency for performing the task, and a task identifier; determining whether the task descriptor is assigned to the task scheduler for execution; if it is determined that the task descriptor is assigned to the task scheduler for execution: executing the task; updating the task execution time based on the current task execution time and the frequency for performing the task; and re-queuing the task descriptor in the local memory.
