Abstract
Work units are identified, managed and reported on as a group or enclave. The dispatching priorities of the work units are separated from the address spaces executing the work units. Instead, the dispatching priorities are tied to the priority of the enclave allowing work units to be executed within an address space at a priority independent from the address space. Additionally, resources used by the work units are accumulated and allocated to the requestor of the work.
