Appeal No. 1997-1207
Application 08/272,590
coordinating parallel accesses of a plurality of processors to
resource configurations. Each resource is secured by a
security number, whereby resources that belong to a common
resource configuration all receive the same security number.
All security numbers are conferred via a central security
table. The access control is conferred on demand to a
processor over an entire resource configuration when the
security number belonging to this resource configuration has
not been seized at this point in time by a different
processor. Thus, access to an entire resource configuration
comprising many individual resources is granted rather than to
the individual resources. The invention is further
illustrated by the following claim.
1. A method for coordination of parallel accesses of a
plurality of processors to resource configurations that have
resources, comprising the steps of:
securing each resource by a security number from the
plurality of security numbers, resources that belong to a
common resource configuration having a common security number,
security numbers of the plurality of security numbers being
forwarded to the resources via a central security table; and
assigning access control over an entire respective
resource configuration on demand to a requesting processor,
when a respective security number belonging to the respective
resource configuration has not been seized at this point in
time by a different processor.
