ITERATIVE WORKLOAD PROCESSING HAVING A MANDATORY PROCESSING TASK AND A PREFERRED PROCESSING TASK

摘要

Iterative workload processing having a mandatory processing task and a preferred processing task. A processor device iteratively performs a processing workload that comprises a mandatory processing task and a preferred processing task. The mandatory processing task includes accessing a plurality of input messages that have not yet been processed, and the preferred processing task has a target timeframe within which to be performed. For each iteration, a maximum preferred processing task amount of time to perform the preferred processing task is determined based on a moving average of mandatory processing task times of previous iterations and based on the target timeframe. The preferred processing task is performed for a period of time no greater than the maximum preferred processing task amount of time.
