    Abstract: A processor resource scheduler is provided for a data processing system 400 having a predetermined amount of processing resources 460, 470, 480, 490. The scheduler includes a resource utilization manager 410 which manages the processing of a plurality of data processes 450. The scheduler also has a resource utilization table 415 which stores processor resource requirement values of the processes and the value of available processing resources. Priority information for the data processes may also be stored. The resource utilization manager 410 uses the table 415 to determine the scheduling of the data processes 450 in dependence upon the requirements of the data and the available processing resources of the system. In this way at run-time, potential resource (MIPs, memory, processors) overloads are determined. The processor resource scheduler may be incorporated into a mobile communications device. Alternatively, it may be coupled to a mobile communications device via a network, wherein the resource utilization manager is at least partially located at a base station remote from the mobile communications device.
