Abstract
A counter for tracking current shared resource access quota requests of nodes in a multi-node system is circulated among the nodes. A quota for a given node is determined as a function of the counter, the needs of the given node and a variable indicative of total access quota for all nodes combined. The determined quota is then allocated to the given node, i.e., the node is allowed to access the shared resource in accordance with the determined quota.
