Abstract
A requester includes an output data register which retains a data piece to be output to a relay register of a crossbar, and two request registers which output a request corresponding to the data piece. The requester sets a next data piece in the output data register, and sets a corresponding request in the request register in response to a selection signal from the crossbar. The crossbar outputs a grant signal representing that output of a data piece output from the requester to an output port is permitted to the requester, and at the same time, switches selection between requests from the two request registers in accordance with a request selection register prepared in advance, and inputs the selected request to an arbiter.
