Abstract
Resources to be used by concurrent threads in a multithreaded processor are allocated based on thread types of the threads. For each of at least two thread types, an amount of the resource is reserved, and amounts currently allocated are tracked. When a request to allocate some of the resource to a new thread is received, a determination as to whether the allocation can be made is based on the thread type of the new thread, the amount of the resource reserved for that thread type, and the amount currently allocated to threads of that type.
