Control method of multiple services for CMP based on continuation model

In a chip multiprocessor based on the continuation concept, the hardware scheduler controls threads and achieves high performance on thread scheduling. However, the priority of threads is not considered during execution because the hardware thread scheduler schedules threads in a FIFO manner. Therefore, when multiple services execute simultaneously, the execution of each service cannot consider the priority of service. In such a case, software support is needed to control the execution of each service. This paper presents a software scheduler for multiple services that supports the hardware scheduler. In addition, this paper also reports the evaluation of the software scheduler, which targets multiple services.
