Abstract
A dynamic arbitration controller includes components for reading current state information as well as records of known arbitration states which may cause a deadlock condition, comparing the current state to the records of known arbitration states and resolving deadlock conditions during arbitration. The dynamic arbitration controller may include circuits for storing and retrieving information related to the arbitration. The dynamic arbitration controller may be implemented as a circuit design or as a computer program product stored on machine readable media.
