Managing memory resident queues to control resources of the systems using the queues

A method of managing memory resident queues, said method comprising:

• determining whether a memory resident queue is being serviced at a desired level, wherein the determining comprises:
• determining whether a size of at least one component of the memory resident queue satisfies a first criterion;
• and
• determining whether a specified portion of messages of a defined type satisfies a second criterion, wherein the memory resident queue is not being serviced at the desired level when the first and second criterion are satisfied;
• and
• removing one or more messages from the memory resident queue in response to a determination that the memory resident queue is not being serviced at the desired level.

A method of managing memory resident queues, said method comprising:

• determining whether a memory resident queue is being serviced at a desired level;
• and
• removing one or more messages from the memory resident queue to storage in response to a determination that the memory resident queue is not being serviced at the desired level, wherein the removing comprises:
• allocating storage for the one or more messages to be removed;
• and
• copying the one or more messages from the memory resident queue to the allocated storage.

A system of managing memory resident queues, said system comprising:

• means for determining whether a memory resident queue is being serviced at a desired level;
• means for removing one or more messages from the memory resident queue to storage in response to a determination that the memory resident queue is not being serviced at the desired level;
• and
• means for returning at least one message of the one or more removed messages to the memory resident queue;
• wherein the at least one message comprises a set of one or more messages associated with a selected swept identifier.
