Prioritizing resource use between users
Figure 1-3 illustrates how users’ access to resources can be prioritized
using PRM. In this example, two university departments both
contributed to the purchase of a new computer. The math department
paid 25% of the cost, and the engineering department paid 75%. PRM
groups are assigned accordingly: 25% for the math PRM group MGroup
and 75% for the engineering PRM group EGroup. This implies that
EGroup processes have priority over MGroup processes. Each group has
only one user: User1 is in MGroup; User2 is in EGroup. User1 is entitled
to 25% of the available resource, and User2 is entitled to 75%. This
scenario assumes that the three processes fully consume the resource
allocated to their groups.
