Abstract
A multiple request toggling (MRT) arbitration system for prioritizing requests to a set of shared resources by multiple requestors, especially requests by multiple processors to shared resources in a multiprocessor system. The MRT arbitration system assigns priority to multiple requests on a first-come, first-serve basis with the priority of multiple simultaneous requests being resolved through an arbitration network.
