Abstract:
A computing system is provided and includes first and second computing resources defined, during system initialization, as first kernel threads and a second kernel thread with which the first kernel threads are operably associated, a memory manager and a re-prioritization controller. The memory manager is configured to handle a portion of pending input/output (I/O) operations at an interrupt level and to offload a remainder of the pending I/O operations to the first kernel threads according to an offload condition whereby the offloaded I/O operations are queued according to a first scheme. The re-prioritization controller is configured to transfer a portion of the offloaded I/O operations from the first kernel threads to the second kernel thread according to a transfer condition whereby the transferred I/O operations are re-prioritized according to a second scheme.
