Adaptive scheduling of latency-sensitive event-based processors

Abstract:

The latency corresponding to a latency-sensitive event-based processor is evaluated to determine whether the latency-sensitive event-based processor (EBP) should be prioritized. If so, constraints on the number of events that the latency-sensitive EBP can process are relaxed and the frequency with which the latency-sensitive EBP can process events is increased. At a next latency evaluation, if the latency-sensitive EBP no longer meets criteria for prioritization, the constraint on the number of events is returned to a nominal level, as is the frequency with which the latency-sensitive EBP can process events.
