Intel's Thread Building Blocks has for some time had support for task stealing and such. Many of the claims listed here seem similar to what it does. Likewise, Boost::asio (plus some of my own designs) supports distribution of tasks to different processors and such and manages interrupts through the use of mechanisms like epoll, kqueue, select, iocp, etc with a main thread and "strands" that allow you to dispatch and guarantee serialization of a different task anywhere in the thread pool.
If you could enter these items as prior art, they could be considered by the USPTO patent examiner.
There are 3 days of peer review remaining. Thanks.
