Abstract

A method for resolving address contention and prioritization of access to resources within a shared memory system includes dynamically creating ordered lists of requests for each contested resource. A new request is added to the lists only after a conflict is recognized. Since the resource conflict does not always exist, there is no impact to a request for an uncontested resources.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to computers and computer systems, and more particularly to mechanisms for resolving address conflicts and resource access priorities within a shared memory system. Background technique [0002] Multiprocessor systems can take many forms, and individual solutions may contain many unique characteristics. Common among multiprocessor systems is the need to resolve shared address conflicts. A shared address conflict occurs when one or more processors attempt to update shared data. Since resolving such conflicts requires a serialized access, system designers avoid situations where this behavior occurs. For example, a processing unit may be assigned a dedicated address space by the operating system; enabling the processor to work without conflicting constraints. Even in this environment, an idle processor will usually get new jobs from a queue held in a shared address space. As the speed and number of processors increase, th...
