An Adaptive Arbitration Algorithm for Fair Bandwidth Allocation, Low Latency and Maximum CPU Utilization

Abstract

Utilization of adaptive algorithm for fair bandwidth allocation, low latency and maximum CPU utilization is proved to be a promising approach for designing system-on-chip for future applications. Adaptive arbitration is more advantageous then the other conventional arbitration algorithms for several reasons; these include fair bandwidth allocation among different masters, simple design and low cost over head. This article provides a comprehensive picture of research and developments in dynamic arbitration algorithm for masters according to the different traffic behavior. The papers published in standard journals are reviewed, classified according to their objectives and presented with a general conclusion. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.
