Migrations Triggered by Asynchronous Events
Examples of asynchronous events include: receipt of a packet, completion of an I/O transfer, receipt of a resource, receipt of a message requesting a resource, etc. Generally, a hyper-kernel that receives an event corresponding to a hardware device managed by the operating system needs to deliver a continuation associated with that event to a scheduler object s. By doing so, s will make this continuation available to an appropriate scheduler object and then ultimately to the computation managed by the operating system represented by that continuation. If, on the other hand, the event is the receipt of a message from a hyper-kernel on another physical node, the hyper-kernel can handle it directly.
To simplify explanation, in the examples described herein, an assumption is made that there is only one continuation associated with an event. The procedures described herein can be generalized for the case where multiple continuations are associated with the same event, as needed.
In some embodiments, the search for a scheduler object on which to place the continuation starts at the leaf of the tree that built the continuation and then proceeds upward (if the computation previously executed on this node). By doing so, the likelihood of reusing cache entries is increased.
