| 20100043005 | SYSTEM RESOURCE MANAGEMENT MODERATOR PROTOCOL - A method, system, and computer program product for managing system resources within a data processing system. A resource management moderator (RMM) utility assigns a priority to each application within a group of management applications, facilitated by a RMM protocol. When a request for control of a particular resource is received, the RMM utility compares the priority of the requesting application with the priority of the controlling application. Control of the resource is ultimately given to the management application with the greater priority. If the resource is not under control of an application, control of the resource may be automatically granted to the requester. Additionally, the RMM utility provides support for legacy applications via a “manager of managers” application. The RMM utility registers the “manager of managers” application with the protocol and enables interactions (to reconfigure and enable legacy applications) between the “manager of managers” application and legacy applications. | 02-18-2010 |
