Claim:
1. A dynamically reconfigurable asynchronous arbitration node for use in an adaptive asynchronous interconnection network, comprising: at least one output channel and a plurality of input channels, including a first input channel and a second input channel; and a circuit supporting a plurality of operating modes for the arbitration node including a default-arbitration mode and a biased-input mode, wherein the circuit is configured to: generate data for the at least one output channel by: monitor the input traffic and initiate a mode change for the arbitration node based at least in part on a recent history of the observed input traffic in accordance with a mode-change policy, the recent history comprising at least two successive inputs from one of the first and second input channels; and implement the mode change by:
