ABSTRACT:
A stochastic priority based scheduler for selecting executable tasks in a computer system is disclosed. The stochastic priority based scheduler selects tasks on the basis of a random number weighted by task priority. Since every task has a nonzero finite probability of being selected, the probability being proportional to the task priority, all tasks, even low priority ones, have a chance of being selected, thus eliminating the lockout problem.
