Abstract
The described embodiments comprise a selection mechanism that selects a resource from a set of resources in a computing device for performing an operation. In some embodiments, the selection mechanism performs a lookup in a table selected from a set of tables to identify a resource from the set of resources. When the resource is not available for performing the operation and until another resource is selected for performing the operation, the selection mechanism identifies a next resource in the table and selects the next resource for performing the operation when the next resource is available for performing the operation.
