ABSTRACT:
The invention provides an arbitration method and an arbiter circuit in which sets of storage members having an associated output rate, and sets of arbitration members to be successively linked in multi-stage subordinate/superior relation and arbitrate data transfer from the storage members. One of the sets of the arbitration members may include first arbitration members to respectively connect to the storage members, each first arbitration member having an associated transfer rate corresponding to a sum of the output rates associated with the storage members of the set to which the first arbitration member connects. One or more other sets of the arbitration members may include arbitration members that are superior to the first arbitration members and have an associated transfer rate corresponding to a sum of the transfer rates associated with immediately subordinate arbitration members and have information identifying a rank order subordinate arbitration members having the lowest associated transfer rates among the immediately subordinate arbitration members.
