Multitasking data processing system and method of controlling allocation of a shared resource
TLDR
In this paper, a multitasking data processing system having a plurality of tasks and a shared resource and a method of controlling allocation of shared resources within a multi-task data processing systems are disclosed.Abstract:
A multitasking data processing system having a plurality of tasks and a shared resource and a method of controlling allocation of shared resources within a multitasking data processing system are disclosed. In response to a resource request for a portion of a shared resource by a particular task among the plurality of tasks, a determination is made whether or not granting the resource request would cause a selected level of resource allocation to be exceeded. In response to a determination that granting the resource request would not cause the selected level of resource allocation to be exceeded, the resource request is granted. However, in response to a determination that granting the resource request would cause the selected level of resource allocation to be exceeded, execution of the particular task is suspended for a selected penalty time. In one embodiment of the present invention, the shared resource is a memory.read more

Method and system for resource management
Arun U. Kishan,David B Probert +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a hierarchy of budgets is constructed to encode restrictions on the aggregated use of a resource allocated by a resource provider to one or more clients, and the resource manager notifies clients of availability and shortages of resources to promote compliance with the restrictions encoded in the budgets of the hierarchy.
Patent
System, server, and program for access right management
TL;DR: In this article, each domain is provided with an access right management device which creates a resource sharing policy and performs processing for resource-sharing policy negotiation between a plurality of domain administrators.
Patent
A method and system for offloading execution and resources for resource-constrained networked devices
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method for offloading execution load from a resource-constrained device to allow the device to run a resourceintensive software program, which includes the step of accessing a program using a first device and determining whether the execution of the program will exceed resources of the first device.

Diverse goods arbitration system and method for allocating resources in a distributed computer system
TL;DR: In this paper, a diverse goods arbitration system and method allocates computer resources among bidding requesters is presented, where the arbiter rejects all bid combinations whose constituent bids exceed an established maximum allocation level for any computer resource.
Patent
Critical task scheduling for real-time systems
Edward Ferguson,Dexter S. Cook +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a task scheduling method for a real-time computer system having automatic memory management or some other resource that is consumed in terms of a bit rate is presented, which ensures that non critical tasks do not prevent the timely execution of critical tasks.
Patent
Method and system for access and accounting control in a data processing system by using a single resource account for a user or a group of users
TL;DR: Disclosed as mentioned in this paper is a method and system for allowing resource control in a UNIX-based system to be done on an aggregate, or group, basis, which enables both access control and accounting to be performed in units of groups instead of units of users.
Patent
Optimized i/o buffers having the ability to increase or decrease in size to meet system requirements
TL;DR: Optimization I/O buffers are used to write data into or read data from auxiliary storage using a double buffering scheme as mentioned in this paper, which switches back and forth between these two buffers until all of the desired data is sent to auxiliary storage.
Patent
System for establishing and enforcing maximum size of directory by preventing the size of the directory from exceeding the set quota size of the directory
TL;DR: In this article, a system and method for establishing and enforcing a maximum size for a directory in a file server is presented, which includes setting a quota size for the directory, and in response to a request to write to the directory determining if the size of the directory is less than the quota size.
