ABSTRACT:
A method for use with a computer system includes permitting a first bus agent to access a bus during predetermined windows of time and preventing a second bus agent from accessing the bus outside of the windows. The first bus agent has a higher priority than the second bus agent. The method includes monitoring the use of the bus by the first bus agent during the window and the regulation durations of the windows are selectively regulated based on the use.
