Abstract
A schedule graph may be used to identify executable elements that consume data from a network interface or other input/output interface. The schedule graph may be traversed to identify a sequence or pipeline of executable elements that may be triggered from data received on the interface, then a process scheduler may cause those executable elements to be executed on available processors. A queue manager and a load manager may optimize the resources allocated to the executable elements to maximize the throughput for the input/output interface. Such as system may optimize processing for input or output of network connections, storage devices, or other input/output devices.
