Paolo Gai, Giuseppe Lipari, Marco Di Natale, M. Duranti, A. Ferrari · 2005
In this paper we present an arbitrator implementation for enabling multiprocessor synchronization and resource sharing primitives with guaranteed maximum latency in real-time operating systems (RTOS). The arbitrator has been developed for use in conjunction with the NIOS II softcore in the Altera family of system on programmable chips.
