Efficient design and generation of a multi-facet arbiter
Jer Min Jou, Yun-Lung Lee, Sih-Sian Wu · 2010
Based on the arbiter template developed in [1], we presented an efficient, modular, and scalable decentralized parallel design of a new multi-facet arbiter. Moreover, with this modular and reusable hardware design, we have implemented a parametric arbiter generator that automatically generates various multi-facet arbiters. With the decentralized parallel design and the generator, not only a fastest and smallest round-robin arbiter but also other type arbiters were designed and generated on the fly. The experiment results were given to show the designs' excellent performances.
