A new method for identifying the stable state in distributed arbitration schemes as used in modern multiprocessor buses like Futurebus is suggested. It exploits the dependence of the arbitration time on the arbitration numbers. The method allows a reduction in bus acquisition time without considerable changes to the system, for example by more than a factor of 1.3 for Futurebus. This method also improves...
A method for coding arbitration numbers in distributed arbitration schemes as used in Futurebus is proposed. The method is based on minimising the number of level changes in the arbitration process and allows one to reduce the arbitration time considerably. An algorithm for the construction of optimal codes for specified arbitration delay and number of arbitration lines is given.<<ETX>>
