Abstract
A method of requesting data in a data processing system has the steps of receiving a plurality of requests for data by a request arbitrator (12) from a plurality of requesters (REQUESTER A, REQUESTER B, REQUESTER C), requesting a first portion of each request at a first time and requesting a second portion of each request at a second time. Each of the requests for data corresponds to a first portion of data. At least one of the requests also corresponds to a second portion of data. The first portions and second portion are requested according to a first and to a second predetermined order, respectively. The disclosed method requests a critical mount of data first for each request before any non-critical data portions are requested.
