  • obtaining parameter values for a plurality of different threads;

    performing logic functions, in parallel with, but without interrupting the main processor, on said parameter values to determine if thread scheduling should be reconfigured, and if so, which thread should be enabled; and

    sending an interrupt signal to interrupt the main processor if thread scheduling is to be reconfigured.
