Abstract
An arbiter device, during a given clock cycle, determines an ordered set corresponding to a plurality of first interfaces. The ordered set indicates whether each first interfaces of the plurality of first interfaces is available for selection for a second interface of a plurality of second interfaces during the given clock cycle. The arbiter device, during the given clock cycle, selects a respective available first interface, from the ordered set corresponding to the plurality of first interfaces, for each of the plurality of second interfaces. Selecting an available first interface for a particular one of the second interfaces is performed in parallel with and independently from selecting available first interfaces for other ones of the second interfaces. The arbiter device, during the given clock cycle, generates an output that indicates the selections of the respective first interfaces for the second interfaces.
