ABSTRACT:
In a computer system where maximum allowable latency periods are established for each of eight agents to access a shared buffer, the invention provides a timed loop that prevents starving out of any agent and a dynamically variable loop to prevent an allocation of time for an access to the shared buffer by an idle agent to reduce latency wherever possible.
