Abstract
Rapid advancement in the world of microprocessor necessitates solving the bus contention in a most efficient manner. The major challenge is to reduce the latency of the system and to achieve a fair bandwidth allocation using maximum CPU utilization. Combination of Adaptive Arbitration (AA) algorithm and the processors according to their traffic behavior can be one of the feasible options to tackle the aforesaid problems due to its fair bandwidth allotment and low system latency. This article provides a comprehensive picture of the global scenario of AA algorithm for fair bandwidth allocation so as to enable researchers to decide the direction of further investigation. Some of the works published so far in this area are reviewed, classified according to their objectives, and presented in an organized manner with general conclusion.
