Dynamically adjustable load-sharing circular queues are disclosed. That is, a method of reversing the processing order of a second queue placed adjacent to a first queue to allow the space allocated to both queues to be dynamically adjusted, without copying or moving queue data or affecting the performance of the input and output queue functions is described. These advantages are attained without adding any overhead to conventional circular queues, in terms of processing and memory requirements. Dynamically adjustable circular queues are particularly useful in reducing memory requirements for simple circular queues used in serving either a primary/backup or load-sharing configuration of two input queues. A simple way of determining when the queue sizes can be adjusted is further described.
