Abstract
A resource arbitration system is provided implementing a modified round robin priority selection logic including resource checking and lockout avoidance that updates the round robin priority token only when (1) the process request is granted and (2) there are no prior processes with resource conflicts. The resource arbitration system thereby allows each process request to get into the queue with high priority once the requested resource is freed.
