  • Control of non-resettable counters by multiple processes
    Patent number: 5436914
    Abstract: A plurality of processes share a single set of non-resettable counters which are sampled periodically. Each process maintains a list of counter relationships unique to its own process and compares at each sample time the current sampled counter values with a selected function of previously received counter values for each relationship in its list and establishes a counter reset value which is a selected function of the current sampled value when the previously selected function is satisfied.
