Managing parallel processing

Abstract:

A computer system is associated with a number of computers including at least one central processing unit (CPU). Managing of parallel processing on the computer system may comprise determining a scheduling limit to restrict a number of worker threads available for executing tasks on the computer system. The managing may further comprise executing a plurality of tasks on the computer system. An availability of a CPU associated with the computer system is determined based on whether a load of the CPU exceeds a first threshold. When the CPU is determined to be unavailable, the scheduling limit is reduced. A further task is scheduled for execution on one of the CPUs according to the reduced scheduling limit. The worker threads available to execute tasks on the computer system may be limited, such that the quantity of worker threads available for executing tasks does not exceed the scheduling limit.
