Abstract
A task management methodology for system having multiple processors and task queues adapts a queuing topology by monitoring a queue pressure and adjusting the queue topology from a selection of at least two different queue topologies. The queue pressure may be periodically monitored and queues with different granularities selected. The methodology reduced contention when there is high pressure on the queues while also reducing overhead to manage queues when there is less pressure on the queues.
