Abstract
A method of and system for optimizing process utilization in a shared resource environment that avoids holding system processes while requests are queued or waiting for system resources. Information about a waiting request is retained in control structures; then the same process that frees a resource is utilized to respond to queued requests for that resource. The effect is to minimize the retention and/or allocation of processes and their associated system resource requirements. The same method is applied to the synchronization of interprocess communications.
