Abstract:
1. An article of manufacture comprising a computer readable storage medium including code executed by a processor to communicate with a memory and request data from a queue, wherein code causes operations to be performed, the operations comprising: determining whether the queue is in a waiting phase or a transmission phase for data in response to waiting for a waiting phase wait time when initiating an operation to access data from the queue, wherein during the waiting phase data is not available in the queue for reading; waiting an incremental wait time in response to determining that the queue is in the waiting phase; determining whether the queue is in the waiting phase or the transmission phase in response to waiting the incremental wait time; recording a total wait time in the memory in response to determining that the queue is in the transmission phase; and using the recorded total wait time to determine the waiting phase wait time to use when initiating the operation to access data from the queue.
