This paper describes a method that allows the speed up of parallel processes in distributed arbitration schemes as used in Futurebus + . It is based on special arbitration codes that decrease the maximal arbitration time to a specified value. Such codes can be applied with few, if any, minor changes of the hardware. The general structure of these codes is given.
