Common Priority Information for Multiple Resource Arbitration

Priority selection logic to generate common priority information for a plurality of requestors in a computing system for use by one or more arbiters in the computing system to arbitrate between the plurality of requestors and a plurality of resources in a next cycle, the priority selection logic comprising:

• priority generation logic for each resource that is configured to generate priority information for the next cycle based on an arbitration scheme, the priority information indicating which of the plurality of requestors has priority in the next cycle;
• modification logic for each resource that is configured to generate relevant priority information for the next cycle based on the priority information for the next cycle for that resource, the relevant priority information for a resource being the priority information that relates to requestors that requested access to the resource in a current cycle and were not granted access to the resource in the current cycle;
• and
• combination logic configured to combine the relevant priority information for each resource to generate the common priority information for the next cycle.
