Abstract
A queuing module is configured to determine the presence of at least one shared request in a request queue, and in the event at least one shared request is determined to be present in the queue; determine the presence of a waiting exclusive request located in the queue after the at least one shared request, and in the event a waiting exclusive request is determined to be located in the queue after the at least one shared request: determine whether grouping a new shared request with the at least one shared request violates a deferral limit of the waiting exclusive request; and, in the event grouping the new shared request with the at least one shared request does not violate the deferral limit of the waiting exclusive request, group the new shared request with the at least one shared request.
