Abstract:
A method and system for message passing which weights messages in a queue by urgency of consumption. A timestamp indicating the urgency of consumption may be assigned to a message, and messages may be automatically re-ordered based on their timestamps, following a first-in-weighted-out (FIWO) logic. Such a schedule-driven auto-reordered message passing system may provide increased efficiency, lower latency and is independent of the configuration of memory types.
