Abstract: This patent application relates generally to a predictive arbitration circuit for use in arbitrating access by a number of data streams to a shared resource managed by a destination (arbiter), where each data stream is associated with a number of sources competing for the shared resource, and the destination provides access to the shared resource based on the number of sources competing for the shared resource rather than just on the number of data streams. Among other things, this approach can more fairly distribute access to the shared resource among the competing sources.
