ABSTRACT:
An improved multiprocessor bus arbiter which provides dynamically prioritized access for a plurality of processors to shared peripheral devices on a common bus through bus access switches. The arbiter includes logic circuitry to which incoming bus access request signals are coupled and a memory means which stores bus access status. The logic circuit determines bus access based on the input request signal and the stored information. The arbiter is adapted to provide a cycle shared mode of access or a lock out mode of access, as may be required.
