Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for providing resource sharing in a computing environment using file descriptor isomorphism. The methods and systems may perform a method in a computing environment having processor systems executing processes. The method may include receiving a request from a first process to access a first resource. Further, the method may include generating a first Global File Descriptor (GFD) that references a first entry in a GFD table, the first GFD entry including a reference to a first entry in a resource descriptor table pointing to the first resource. Based on the request, at least one GFD field associated with the first GFD entry is configured. Thus, methods and systems may manage access by the first process to the first resource using the first GFD entry.
