Abstract
A processor of an apparatus in an example upon a failure of an earlier attempt to directly acquire ownership of an access coordinator for a resource shared with one or more additional processors, locally determines an amount to delay a later attempt to directly acquire ownership of the access coordinator. Upon a failure of the later and/or a subsequent attempt to directly acquire ownership of the access coordinator the processor would enter into an indirect waiting arrangement for ownership of the access coordinator.
