An Arbiter with Fair Bandwidth Allocation and Low Latency for Real Time Computing System

Accelerated advancement in the field of System-on-Chip necessitates solving the bus contention in a most efficient manner. In any real time computing system, the major challenge is to reduce the latency of the system and to achieve a fair bandwidth allocation. Implanting processors according to their traffic behavior on to the Adaptive Arbitration architecture can be one of the feasible options to tackle the aforesaid problems to a remarkable extent. This combination of Adaptive Arbitration and the processors according to their traffic behavior has interesting advantages compared with other conventional arbiters due to its fair bandwidth allotment and low system latency. This article provides a comprehensive picture of the global scenario of Adaptive Arbitration algorithm for fair bandwidth allocation so as to enable researchers to decide the direction of further investigation. Some of the works published so far in this area are reviewed, classified according to their objectives and presented in an organized manner with a final conclusion.
