  Abstract

In this paper, we propose a thread scheduling algorithm for faster packet processing on the network processors with multithreaded multiprocessor architecture. To implement the proposed algorithm, we derived several basic parameters related to the thread scheduling and included a new parameter representing the packet contents and the multithreaded architecture. Through the empirical study using a simulator, we proved the proposed scheduling algorithm provides better throughput and load balancing compared to the general thread scheduling algorithm.
