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.
