Abstract
A multiprocessor system includes an interconnection network, a shared resource coupled to the interconnection network and a plurality of processors coupled to each other and the shared resource via the interconnection network. The processors are programmed to associate a weighted value with each of the plurality of processors, compare the weighted values and select at least one of the processors from the plurality of processors based on the comparison of the weighted values.
