User Arbitration
The user arbitration process typically involves determining which user or component gets access to the shared resource at any given time. This decision may be based on predefined criteria, priorities, or scheduling algorithms. The goal is to ensure that resource access is coordinated and that conflicts are resolved in a manner that aligns with the design’s intended behavior and performance requirements.
Importance of User Arbitration
User arbitration is important for managing the interaction between various components and ensuring that they work together harmoniously within the VLSI system. It plays a significant role in achieving efficient resource allocation, minimizing contention, and preventing issues like data corruption or system failures that can arise from uncoordinated resource access.
