Abstract
The methods and systems may provide a scalable round-robin arbiter tree that performs round-robin arbitration for a plurality of requests received from a set of requestors. The round-robin arbiter may stack a plurality of round-robin cells in stages where an output of a first stage of round-robin cells is an input to a next stage of round-robin cells. The round-robin arbiter may transform an arbitration state at each stage of the arbitration and propagate the arbitration state into the next stage for arbitration. The arbitration state from the final stage round-robin cell is fed back to the first stage of the round-robin cells and used in a subsequent arbitration round.
