Abstract
A concurrent arbitration system and method are provided wherein the most recent requester retains control of a system resource under certain conditions and is allowed access to the resource during a portion of an arbitration cycle which will result in the granting of access to the resource by another requester. This overlapping of a resource access cycle and an arbitration cycle decreases the overall arbitration time and therefore reduces the overall resource access time.
