Abstract
A method and architecture for improved system resource management and allocation for the processing of request and response messages in a computer system. The resource management scheme provides for dynamically sharing system resources, such as data buffers, between request and response messages or transactions. In particular, instead of simply dedicating a portion of the system resources to requests and the remaining portion to responses, a minimum amount of resources are reserved for responses and a minimum amount for requests, while the remaining resources are dynamically shared between both types of messages. The method and architecture of the present invention allows for more efficient use of system resources, while avoiding deadlock conditions and ensuring a minimum service rate for requests.
