Abstract
A method for parallel processing implemented by a first core in a network unit, comprising locking an ingress queue if the ingress queue is not locked by another core, searching for an unlocked task queue from a first default subset of a plurality of task queues when the ingress queue is locked by another core, wherein the first subset is different from a second default subset of the plurality of task queues from which a second core begins a search for an unlocked task queue, and searching a remainder of the plurality of task queues for an unlocked task queue when all of the first default subset of task queues are locked and the ingress queue is locked.
