ABSTRACT:
A system (100) having a plurality of bus masters (111–113) coupled to an arbiter (150) is disclosed. An arbiter (150) is coupled to a first storage location (151) and a second storage location (152), where the first and second storage locations store bus master parking information for a system bus (141). The arbiter (150) receives a parking context indicator (131) that is used to select one of the first and second storage locations (151, 152) to provide bus master parking information to the arbiter (150).
