Abstract
Generally discussed herein are systems, apparatuses, and methods for scheduling node access to a shared resource. A method can include determining a position assignment for each of a plurality of nodes to create a ring schedule, the ring schedule defining time frames in which each node of the plurality of nodes has access to a resource that is shared among the plurality of nodes, the ring schedule comprising a plurality of epochs, and each of the plurality of epochs comprising a plurality of positions that define a time at which access to the resource begins, each of a plurality of nodes including a position assignment each epoch, and updating the ring schedule including permuting positions of the ring schedule with the position assignment remaining static or changing at least one position assignment in an epoch of the plurality of epochs.
