ABSTRACT:
A bus arbiter for a multi-processor computer provides fair access by dynamically adjusting a base variable of a counter which is determined from a processor number of a previously access-requesting processor having the highest processor number. The counter then varies priority between a minimum processor number, such as zero, and the base variable of the counter. The priority signal from the counter and the current access-requesting processors are then provided to a memory device. The memory device is used to determine which current access-requesting processor is permitted to access the bus.
