A resource allocation arbitration system. The system includes a plurality of storage devices, a plurality of indicators, and a plurality of mask bits. Each storage device stores requests for resources. Each indicator enables indication of a condition in which the request stored in each storage device is almost empty. Furthermore, the mask bits enable preemption of one request by another request.
