Method and apparatus for resource sharing in a multi-processor system

摘要

A computer system that includes at least two host agents is provided. The computer system further includes a chipset that includes a resource to be shared by the at least two host agents. The chipset is coupled to the at least two host agents. The chipset prevents a first host agent, that occupies the shared resource to access the shared resource until a second host agent, has made progress in accessing said shared resource.
