SPLIT BUFFER ARCHITECTURE

摘要

A partitioned memory (45) is divided into a number of large buffers (60), and one or more of the large buffers is divided to create an equal number of small buffers (65). Each remaining large buffer is associated with one small buffer, and the paired buffers may be addressed by a single pointer. The pointers are stored in a first-in-first-out unit to create a pool of available buffer pairs.
