Selective transaction request processing at an interconnect during a lockout

A method comprising:

• initiating, at a first time, processing of a first transaction request from a first requesting module at an interconnect;
• receiving, at a second time subsequent to the first time, a second transaction request from a second requesting module;
• accessing a table based on transaction information associated with the first transaction request so as to determine whether the second transaction request is permitted to be processed at the interconnect concurrently with the first transaction request;
• initiating, at a third time subsequent to the second time, processing of the second transaction request at the interconnect when it is determined that the second transaction request is permitted to be processed concurrently with the first transaction request;
• and
• terminating, at a fourth time subsequent to the third time, the processing of the first transaction request.

A system comprising:

• an interconnect operably coupled to a first requesting module, a second requesting module and a plurality of system resources, the interconnect comprising:
• means for receiving a first transaction request from the first requesting module, the first transaction request including a request to utilize at least one system resource of the plurality of system resources;
• means for determining potential interferences expected to occur as a result of a utilization of the at least one system resource by the first requesting module;
• means for initiating processing of the first transaction request at the interconnect;
• and
• means for authorizing processing of a second transaction request from the second requesting module during the processing of the first transaction request based on the determined potential interferences.
