Abstract
A parallel, multi-threaded processor system and technique for arbitrating command requests is described. The system includes a plurality of microengines, a plurality of shared system resources and a global command arbiter. The global command arbiter uses a command request protocol that is based on the shared system resources and command type to grant or deny a microengine command request for a shared resource.
