Abstract

Method for enabling each of several processors in a multi-processing operating system to schedule processes it will execute without a supervisory scheduler. The processes are executed on the basis of priorities assigned to the processes. More than one processor can schedule processes simultaneously so long as each processor schedules processes having different priority levels from those being processed by another processor.
