Systems and methods that manage processing resources

A computer-implemented method for managing processing resources of a computing entity in a communication based computing system, the method comprising:

• employing a first processor to execute tasks;
• receiving from a client an asynchronous communication requesting for processing resources associated with the first processor of the computing entity, the request being preempted or placed in one of a plurality of queues if available processing resources are not sufficient to fulfill the request;
• and
• when the processing resources become available, performing acts including:
• allocating processing resources of the computing entity to execute a task;
• searching the one of the plurality of queues for the request based on queue priority levels to obtain reply information;
• and
• providing access to the allocated processing resources for execution of the task by sending a reply communication to the client associated with the asynchronous communication, the reply communication including at least a context of execution that is utilized to execute a task associated with the request, the allocated processing resources being accounted by requiring the client to request for the processing resources prior to accessing any of the processing resources.

A method for transmitting a communication including one or more data packets to be transmitted between two or more computer components that facilitate processing resource management, comprising:

• receiving from a client an asynchronous communication requesting for processing resources, the processing resources including memory and a context of execution of a processor, the request being preempted or placed in one of a plurality of queues if available processing resources are not sufficient to fulfill the request;
• when the processing resources are available, performing acts including:
• allocating the processing resources to perform an item of execution, the processing resources being allocated only when the asynchronous communication is completed;
• searching the one of the plurality of queues for the request based on queue priority levels to obtain reply information;
• and
• sending a reply communication to provide a location of the memory and access to the context of execution of the processor, the allocated processing resources being accounted by requiring the client to request for the processing resources prior to accessing any of the processing resources.

Computer executable components stored on a computer readable medium that facilitate managing processing resources in a free running computing environment, comprising:

• a first component that receives an asynchronous communication from a client at a receiving port of a processor, wherein the asynchronous communication at least includes a request for a context of execution and a reply port associated with the client, the request being preempted or placed in one of a plurality of queues if the context of execution is not available;
• a second component that allocates the context of execution when the context of execution becomes available;
• and
• a third component that searches the one of the plurality of queues for the request based on queue priority levels to obtain reply information, and transmits a notification to the reply port when the context of execution is available to process an item of execution, the allocated processing resources being accounted by requiring the client to request for the processing resources prior to accessing any of the processing resources.

A system that facilitates managing processing resources, comprising:

• a processor that executes tasks;
• means for receiving an asynchronous request from a client for processing resources associated with the processor which is a part of a computing entity, the asynchronous request being preempted or placed in one of a plurality of queues if available processing resources are not sufficient to fulfill the request;
• means for invoking allocation of the processing resources when the processing resources become available;
• means for searching the one of the plurality of queues for the asynchronous request based on queue priority levels to obtain reply information, and transmitting a communication to a reply port associated with the client or another client;
• and
• means for selectively providing access to the allocated processing resources, the allocated processing resources being accounted by requiring the client to request for the processing resources prior to accessing any of the processing resources.
