ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus are provided for managing processor tasks in a multi-processor computing system. The system is operable to store the processor tasks in a shared memory that may be accessed by a plurality of sub-processing units of the multi-processor computing system; and permit the sub-processing units to determine which of the processor tasks should be copied from the shared memory and executed based on priorities of the processor tasks.
