SERVICE RATE REDISTRIBUTION FOR CREDIT-BASED ARBITRATION

摘要

A particular requester of three or more requesters of a shared system resource is determined to be inactive. Each of the three or more requesters is allocated a respective service rate that each represents a corresponding share of available bandwidth of the system resource and the respective service rate of the particular requester is a first service rate that represents a first share of the bandwidth. Portions of the first share of the bandwidth are reallocated to each active requester in the three or more requesters to distribute the first portion of the bandwidth according to the relative services rates of the active requesters while the particular requester remains inactive.
