Scaleable arbitration and prioritization of multiple interrupts

摘要: A system operable to perform scaleable arbitration and prioritization of multiple interrupts. The present invention presents a solution that is theoretically indefinitely accommodate any number interrupt sources. provides for orthogonal scalability sources—a feature absolutely non-existent in the prior art. propagation time an within predictable nearly independent priority levels or In addition, novel support sources having common level. two dimensions, namely, modularity can be supported supported. significantly reduces deleterious effects hardware latency slowing processing.
