Arbiter schemes?

[Davy]

Hi all,

I am reading OVL example
(http://www.eda.org/ovl/pages/main_examples.html) and confused with 4
arbitration schemes:
Fixed priority; Round Robin: simple, look-ahead-1,look-ahead-16?

Is there any book or reference talk about arbiter schemes?

Thanks!
Davy

The one with the highest priority wins. Simple.

" Round Robin: simple, look-ahead-1,look-ahead-16?

Almost any introductory or comprehensive book dealing with concurrency
(e.g. books on multithreading or on operating systems or maybe books on
networking) will contain a mention of fixed priority and round-robin
scheduling.

Thanks!
