Abstract

With the advancement of Network-on-chip (NoC), fast and fair arbiter as the basic building block for high speed switches/routers gained attention in recent years. In this paper I propose the fair chance round robin arbiter (FCRRA), a high speed, low power and area efficient RRA for NoC applications. The FCRRAG tool propose in this paper can generate a design for bus arbiter, which can handle the exact number of bus masters for both on chip and off chip buses within one short cycle. General Terms i. Arbiters are electronic devices that allocate access to shared resources. ii. Virtual Output Queues (VOQs) [4]: there are VOQs in a switch to remove possible output port contention (Head of Line (HOL) blocking). iii. Bus Arbiter resolves bus conflicts when multiple bus masters request a bus in the same cycle.[4]
