ABSTRACT:
A method is disclosed for distributing processing resources among a plurality of users of a time-shared system wherein resources are divided among various user accounts; each user assigning specific weights to the various programs (processes) in his account. A program is selected for processing in accordance with its assigned weight, the resources allocated to the account containing the process, and its recent processing rate. Programs are executed through a series of processing intervals; after each interval the priority of the executing program is lowered in proportion to the resources consumed. Priorities are recalculated after each processing interval for all programs competing for access to the resources.
