| Zusammenfassung: | A device for generating a priority value of a processor in a multiprocessor apparatus, the device comprising a counter, an interface for receiving signals from an arbiter, wherein the signals indicate decision of the arbiter about granting or denying access to a common resource in said multiprocessor apparatus. The counter is adapted to change its value in response to said signal and the changes of the counter go in opposite directions depending on the type of signal received from the arbiter. The device is also adapted to send the modified value of the counter as a new priority value to the arbiter. |
