Abstract

See full text

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for parallelizing access to shared assets. A size module determines if a size of a first spoke of a plurality of spokes is greater than a low threshold. The spokes are arranged in a circular order wherein a global spoke pointer identifies the first spoke as a current spoke. Each spoke is configured as an asset queue. A request module requests an asset from the first spoke if the size of the first spoke is greater than the low threshold. A rotate module rotates the global spoke pointer to a second spoke of the plurality of spokes if the size of the first spoke is not greater than the low threshold, wherein the second spoke becomes the current spoke.
