BALANCING CATEGORIZED TASK QUEUES IN A PLURALITY OF PROCESSING ENTITIES OF A COMPUTATIONAL DEVICE

A plurality of processing entities are maintained. An indication is made of a primary processing entities group for a task control block (TCB). An indication is made of a secondary processing entities group for the TCB. In response to determining that the secondary processing entities group has processing cycles available for processing additional TCBs, the TCB is moved from the primary processing entities group to the secondary processing entities group for processing.
