Abstract
When a processor becomes inactive, queues resident in the memory of that processor become inaccessible. Thus, in order to access those queues, an active processor takes over ownership of one or more of the inaccessible queues. Each queue may be rebuilt prior to its take over to ensure that it has up-to-date information.
