ABSTRACT:
Software communicates to a processing unit a classification each of at least one schedulable software entity that the processing unit executes. A resource manager within the processing unit dynamically allocates hardware resources within the processing unit to the schedulable software entity during execution in accordance with the classification. The classification may be retrieved by the software from in data storage, and operating system software may schedule the schedulable software entity for execution by reference to the classification. The processing unit may also monitor, in hardware, execution of each of a plurality of schedulable software entities within the processing unit in accordance with a monitoring parameter set. The processing unit may then report to software the utilization of hardware resources by each of the plurality of schedulable software entities so that the software may develop or refine a classification for the schedulable software entity.
