Abstract

An allocation controller providing for equal priority sharing of multiple resources by a plurality of central processing units. Conflicts resulting from simultaneous requests from several CPUs for access to one of the common resources are resolved at a high rate of speed. In addition, an approximately statistically equal probability is maintained for access of the common resource by all the central processing units.
