Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a circuit board comprising: a peer processor coupled to the processor and comprising a peer PM to manage processes on the peer processor, wherein the local PM is configured to: communicate with the peer PM to startup a peer process on the peer processor to accept a load of a local process on the processor; and transfer the load to the peer process on the peer processor in a dynamic manner based on monitoring an amount of resources used by the processor, wherein a value for overloaded count is incremented when an idle time central processing unit (CPU) percentage is smaller than or equal to a high water mark value, wherein a value for current overloaded is incremented when a most recent sample is examined and the idle time CPU percentage is smaller than or equal to the high water mark value, and wherein the local PM requests the startup of the peer process:
