Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for efficiently managing hot spots in a resource managed computer system. The system utilizes a controller, a series of requestor groups, and a series of loan registers. The controller is configured to allocate and is configured to reallocate resources among the requestor groups to efficiently manage the computer system. The loan registers account for reallocated resources such that intended preallocation of use of shared resources is closely maintained. Hence, the computer system is able to operate efficiently while preventing any single requestor or group of requestors from monopolizing shared resources.
