The first thing that has to be explained is what the SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD wait type is, for a starting point the Microsoft online book definition will be used: “Occurs when a task voluntarily yields the scheduler for other tasks to execute.

What is SQL SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD?

What is SOS Scheduler yield wait type in SQL Server?
Description: This wait type is when a thread was able to execute for its full thread quantum (4 milliseconds in all versions of SQL Server, unchangeable), and so voluntarily yielded the scheduler, moving to the bottom of the Runnable Queue in its scheduler.
What does SOS _ scheduler _ yield mean in SQL Server?
The SQL Server SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD is a fairly common wait type and it could indicate one of two things: The first thing that has to be properly understood is that the SOS_SCHEDULER_YIELD wait type, even so named, is not actually an actual wait type at all, at least not comparing to other wait types.
What are the components of the SQL OS scheduler?
The SQL OS scheduler (or SOS Scheduler) consists of three components: Processor – this is the physical or logical CPU/CPU core and it is in charge of processing the thread at rate of one at a time Waiter list – the waiter list stores the threads that are in suspended state as they have to wait for a resource to became available.
What does yield yield do in SQL Server?
Yielding while scanning the the list of buffers for a database (in this case, while shutting down the database as part of a DROP DATABASE) And many, many more similar call stacks from all across SQL Server.
How does the scheduler work in a processor?
The processor scheduler is basically a first in first out queue (that’s not entirely true but for the most part, that’s how it works). When a process is ready to execute, it jumps on the scheduler in a RUNNABLE state. When it gets to the front of the queue, it changes to RUNNING and is able to execute.
