Abstract
Techniques for grouping individual processors into assignment entities are discussed. Statically grouping processors may permit threads to be assigned on a group basis. In this manner, the burden of scheduling threads for processing may be minimized, while the processor within the assignment entity may be selected based on the physical locality of the individual processors within the group. The groupings may permit a system to scale to meet the processing demands of various applications.
