Task pooling and work affinity in data processing

A system for improving computing system performance comprising:

• a processor device, operable in the computing system, that organizes system resources into a plurality of groups, each of the plurality of groups assigned one of a plurality of predetermined task pools, each of the predetermined task pools having a plurality of tasks;
• wherein each of the plurality of groups corresponds to at least one physical boundary of the system resources such that a speed of an execution of those of the plurality of tasks for a particular one of the plurality of predetermined task pools is optimized by a placement of an association with the at least one physical boundary and the plurality of groups.

A computer program product for improving computing system performance by a processor device, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising:

• a first executable portion that organizes system resources into a plurality of groups, each of the plurality of groups assigned one of a plurality of predetermined task pools, each of the predetermined task pools having a plurality of tasks;
• wherein each of the plurality of groups corresponds to at least one physical boundary of the system resources such that a speed of an execution of those of the plurality of tasks for a particular one of the plurality of predetermined task pools is optimized by a placement of an association with the at least one physical boundary and the plurality of groups.
