ABSTRACT:
According to some embodiments, a requester is selected in accordance with information associated with a first and second groups of requesters. For example, a first input may receive a first priority signal, indicating whether at least one of a first group of requesters is requesting to be selected, along with a first identifier that may indicate a particular one of the first group of requesters. Similarly, a second input may a second priority signal, indicating whether at least one of a second group of requesters is requesting to be selected, along with a second identifier that may indicate a particular one of the second group of requesters. An output might then provide the first identifier if the first priority signal indicates that at least one of the first group of requesters is requesting to be selected. The output might instead provide the second identifier if: (i) the first priority signal indicates that none of the first group of requesters is requesting to be selected, and (ii) the second priority signal indicates that at least one of the second group of requesters is requesting to be selected.
