Abstract:
1. A method for adjusting a period of a clock interruption, comprising: determining a number of processes in a run-queue of a processor; and adjusting, directly based on the determined number of processes, the period of the clock interruption for use in a run state of the processor such that a first period of the clock interruption for use when the number of the processes is greater than a reference threshold is less than a second period of the clock interruption for use when the number of the processes is not greater than the reference threshold, wherein the processor executes the processes in the run-queue by a trigger of the clock interruption, wherein the reference threshold comprises a first threshold and a second threshold greater than the first threshold, and wherein the adjusting the period of the clock interruption for use in the run state of the processor comprises:
