ABSTRACT:
One embodiment disclosed relates to a method of distributing threads to processors of a multiprocessor computer system. Prior to assigning a thread at a current position in a thread list to a current processor number, a determination is made as to whether the thread is to be moved to a later position in the thread list. If the determination is made that the thread is to be moved, then the thread is moved to the later position in the thread list. On the other hand, if the determination is made that the thread is not to be moved, then the thread is assigned to the current processor number. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
