Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Threads of a computing environment are managed to improve system performance. Threads are migrated between processors to take advantage of single thread processing mode, when possible. As an example, inactive threads are migrated from one or more processors, potentially freeing-up one or more processors to execute an active thread. Active threads are migrated from one processor to another to transform multiple threading mode processors to single thread mode processors.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of migrating threads between a plurality of processors of a computing environment, said method comprising: monitoring, by a hardware controller of the computing environment, a plurality of processors to obtain information regarding a plurality of threads on the plurality of processors, the monitoring detecting a change in a state of a thread on a processor of the plurality of processors, the change in state indicating a change from an active state t…
