Subject: port scheduling
Date: 18 Oct 91 01:02:54 GMT	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <GREG.91Oct17200254@organia.sce.carleton.ca> (raw)

Greetings...

I am looking for information on scheduling policies for "ports" on
message-passing systems.  For example, consider a task with several
message ports.  Is it better to process messages in a first-come,
first-served basis regardless of the port to which it is destined, or
is it best to accept messages each port one at a time, and implement
some sort of visit policy (such as round robin) between all the ports.
(The first case consists of a single message queue for the task while
the second case consists of a message queue for each port).  

Please send email as I tend to pop into these groups rather
infrequently.  

Thanks
