Abstract
A system and method are disclosed in which multiple components make demands on a common resource, such as a common memory. When it is desirable to change certain operating parameters of a component, an algorithm is performed which determines whether the common resource can support the new operating parameters. The algorithm first determines the worst case operating environment and then evaluates whether the common resource can support the worst case situation.
