Storing data in any of a plurality of buffers in a memory controller

摘要

A memory controller containing one or more ports coupled to a buffer selection logic and a plurality of buffers. Each buffer is configured to store write data associated with a write request and each buffer is also coupled to the buffer selection logic. The buffer selection logic is configured to store write data associated with a write request from at least one of the ports in any of the buffers based on a priority of the buffers for each one of the ports.

1. A memory controller comprising:
a port to receive data; a plurality of buffers; and a buffer selection logic coupled to the port and the plurality of buffers, wherein the buffer selection logic is to:
assign different priority levels to the plurality of buffers in association with the port;receive a request to store the data received at the port;send the request for storage of the data to each of the plurality of buffers;receive an acknowledgement of the request from buffers of the plurality of buffers that are available to store the data, andselect one of the available buffers to store the data based on the priority levels of the available buffers in association with the port.
