Abstract
An arbitration controller providing for equal priority sharing of a resource by a plurality of central processing units. Conflicts resulting from simultaneous requests from several CPUs for access to the common resource are resolved at a high rate of speed. In addition, an approximately statistically equal probability is maintained for access of the common resource by all the central processing units.
