Arbiter Operates: Arbiter is a device used in a multimaster bus system to decide which bus masterwill be allowed to control the bus for each bus cycle. The input of arbiter inclusion: request (8bits), priority (24bits), roundORpriority(1bit), reset (1bit), clock. The output of arbiter inclusion: bits of grant (8bits)
