ABSTRACT:
A determining unit in a computer, communication of other system for determining which one of a plurality of requests by competing input signals is to be honored. The determining unit includes a priority and an arbiter unit with a plurality of stages of arbiter blocks cascaded together from arbiter blocks in a first stage to arbiter blocks in a last stage in a binary tree. The forward output signals from blocks in one stage connect as forward input signals to blocks in a next stage and reverse output signals from blocks in one stage connect as reverse input signals to blocks in a previous stage.
