ABSTRACT:
Various implementations of the described subject matter provide for the management of a multi-dimensional sleep queue, such that a group of threads with a same wake-up time are removed from the multi-dimensional sleep queue in a deterministic amount of time that is independent of the number of threads in the removed group. This is significant because it allows an operating system to schedule other threads for execution within deterministic/predetermined time parameters. Moreover, the described subject matter also provides for inserting new threads into the multi-dimensional sleep queue in a manner that allows other processes to execute during the thread insertion process.
