Summary:PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method, apparatus and system for scheduling OS-independent 'shreds' without intervention of an operating system. SOLUTION: For at least in one embodiment, the shred is scheduled for execution by a scheduler routine rather than the operating system. The scheduler routine may run on each enabled sequencer. The schedulers may retrieve shred descriptors from a queue system. The sequencer associated with the scheduler may then execute the shred described by the descriptor. Other embodiments are also described and claimed. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
