Abstract
In a computing system with non-shareable resources, use-arbitrating processes are executed on behalf of each task seeking or having access to non-shareable resource. The processes compete according to prescribed rules and priority guidelines, the resolution of which determines access to the non-shareable resource. If application of the priority guidelines permits, a use-requesting task can institute takeaway of a resource from a task that is already using the resource.
