Abstract
A method for managing access to a shared resource in an electronic system including a control unit and the shared resource. The control unit is intended to execute applications that are candidates for access to the shared resource. The method uses a calendar of periods of equal duration, each assigned to just one of the applications, to define a temporal distribution of access to the shared resource, and penalty indices associated with each of the applications. The method includes steps for conditionally processing the access requests transmitted by the applications according to their penalty indices. Thus, each application is prevented from accessing the shared resource when the quota assigned thereto is reached, which makes it possible to limit the encroachment of an application that is executed on the access quotas for accessing the resource that are assigned to the other applications.
