Abstract
Resource utilization in a computer is achieved by running a first process to make a reservation for access to a resource in dependence on a resource requirement communication from an application and running a second process to grant requests for access to that resource from that application in dependence on the reservation. A further process provides a common interface between the first process for each resource and the application. The further process converts high-level abstract resource requirement definitions into formats applicable to the first process for the resource in question. The processes are preferably implemented as methods of software objects.
