Abstract
A processor programmed to write to a memory location a first weighted value corresponding to the processor to overwrite a second weighted value stored in the memory location and associated with another processor. The processor is also programmed to compare the first weighted value of the processor with the second weighted value associated with the other processor and to select the processor if the first weighted value of the processor is better than the second weighted value.
