Abstract
Systems and methods of balancing crossbar bandwidth in a multiprocessing system are disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment a system may comprise a crossbar switch having a plurality of links to processors in the multiprocessing system. A plurality of synchronizers is provided to receive micropackets from the links. At least one wait register holds the micropackets. An arbitrator is operatively associated with the at least one wait register, the arbitrator determining which micropackets are output from the crossbar if a threshold is satisfied.
