Abstract
A method and apparatus for providing quality of service in a multi-processing element environment based on priority is herein described. Consumption of resources, such as a reservation station and a pipeline, are biased towards a higher priority processing element. In a reservation station, mask elements are set to provide access for higher priority processing elements to more reservation entries. In a pipeline, bias logic provides a ratio of preference for selection of a high priority processing element for further processing in the pipeline.
