MULTICHANNEL PRIORITY DEVICE

摘要

FIELD: computer engineering; local computer networks and multicomputer system for controlling shared resource access. SUBSTANCE: device provides for sequential end-around polling of channels starting from that of higher priority both in absence of access and when shared resource is allocated. Access to shared resource is provided by processing signals confirming presence or absence of higher priority requests. EFFECT: facilitated management due to elimination of processing low priority requests when higher priority ones are present in channel; simplified design of device and reduced hardware cost. 1 dwg øøø1
