Abstract

A method and system for controlling the allocation of a data processing system's resources among two or more components competing for the resources. An internal system value is modified to yield a modified system value. A utilization history is created by mapping a component's utilization of the system resources. Then, the priority of the component is calculated utilizing the utilization history and the modified system value within a priority calculation.
