Abstract
Methods and apparatus for pseudo-random hardware resource allocation through a plurality of hardware elements. In an embodiment, resource list entries are configured to each identify one hardware element of the plurality of hardware elements. Index list entries are configured to each identify one resource list entry. An index list pointer is set to identify a first index list entry of the plurality of index list entries, and hardware resources are requested from a first hardware element of the plurality of hardware elements by identifying, using the index list pointer, the first index list entry; identifying, using the first index list entry, a first resource list entry; selecting the hardware element identified by the first resource list entry as the first hardware element; and sending a request for hardware resources to the first hardware element.
