Abstract
Embodiments for performing cooperative user mode scheduling between user mode schedulable (UMS) threads and primary threads are disclosed. In accordance with one embodiment, an asynchronous procedure call (APC) is received on a kernel portion of a user mode schedulable (UMS) thread. The status of the UMS thread as it is being processed in a multi-processor environment is determined. Based on the determined status, the APC is processed on the UMS thread.
