DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ARBITRATING BETWEEN DIRECT MEMORY ACCESS TASK REQUESTS

摘要

A method (500) for arbitrating between direct memory access (DMA) task requests, the method (500) includes receiving (510) multiple DMA task requests; the method is characterized by selecting (520) a DMA task request out of the multiple DMA task requests in response to timing deadlines associated with the DMA tasks. A device (90) that includes an interface (420), that is adapted to receive DMA task requests; the device (400) is characterized by including an arbiter (410) that is adapted to select a DMA task request out of the multiple DMA task requests in response to timing deadlines associated with the DMA tasks.
