Abstract
Systems, methods, and apparatus are herein disclosed for performing load balancing of work queues via a dispatcher that shifts work items between worker threads. The dispatcher can be added to the kernel and can monitor work item workload histories to estimate the workload that each work item will add to a thread that it is scheduled for. Where a workload for a given processor is predicted to trigger performance scaling of that processor, the dispatcher can reschedule one or more work items from the scheduled or default work thread to another work thread. The another work thread can be selected such that the addition of the work item will not trigger performance scaling of the another work thread.
