Abstract
An event allocation mechanism in a processing system which mechanism maintains an event table which is really a table of event designations to be allocated to different processes upon request where the requesting processes assign a particular function or 'meaning' to the event designation. The mechanism of the present invention maintains the state of such allocated events in the event table and signals the related (or 'waiting') processes that an event has happened so that the particular system central processors assigned to execute those particular processes may then proceed with their execution.
