1. A data processing system, comprising:

  • a global task control subsystem; and

    at least one processing subsystem coupled to the global task control subsystem, the at least one processing subsystem including;

    a task scheduler coupled to a main list of ready-for-scheduling tasks and to a CPU, andwherein the task scheduler is coupled to a starvation list of potentially-starved ready-for-scheduling tasks and to a starvation monitor,wherein the task scheduler schedules and de-schedules tasks for execution on the CPU using one of a main scheduling scheme and a secondary scheduling scheme, andwherein the starvation monitor determines a number of times that any task in the starvation list is pre-empted from being scheduled for execution on the CPU as a result of another task being scheduled for execution on the CPU using the main scheduling scheme.
