Methods of allocating use of multiple resources in a system

摘要

A method allowing a plurality of resources allocators to allocate use of resources (e.g., processing resources) without communicating with each other. The resource allocators are independent of one another and allocate the resources based upon availability notifications from a plurality of resources. Availability of a resource is based upon a characteristic of the resource (e.g., resource occupancy) and may be determined by the resource comparing the characteristic to a threshold.
