Title: Ranking order of threads in a multi-threaded processor
Inventor: ANDERSON ADRIAN JOHN
IPC: G06F9/48
Filed: 2001-04-24
Abstract: A ranking order RANK (N-1) is assigned to a plurality of instructions threads to be executed on a multi-threaded processor (2, fig 1). Each thread is assessed in terms of a number of ranking factors including the pre-assigned priority PRIORITY(N-1), a deadline count DEADLINE_COUNT (N-1) representing the maximum deadline for that threads execution and a delay count DELAY_COUNT (N-1) representing the rate at which instruction issues are required to determine a metric based on the relative importance of each factor. Each thread is only assessed if it is determined that the processors resources required for completion of the next instruction are available using a resource checker (20, figure 2) and block line BLOCKED n. The rank order comparator 36 then compares the N metrics to determine the order in which the next instructions in the threads are to be executed. The rank order is outputted from granting circuit 38 to the priority selection circuitry (26, figure 2) to grant access to the processor for the highest ranked instruction thread when the processor becomes free by asserting the REQUEST line. The system prevents high priority tasks over-ruling lower priority tasks indefinitely.
