发明名称 Memory control unit with selective execution of queued read and write requests
摘要 A memory control unit (MCU) 22 includes a first interface for interfacing the memory control unit to one or more memory units; a second interface for interfacing the memory control unit to a system bus, including a system data bus for expressing information units, including memory read and write requests, and a system address bus. The MCU further includes logic, responsive to a write request from the system bus, for storing one or more information units within a memory unit at an address specified by the system address bus. The storing logic includes write request receiving and buffer logic having a plurality of storage locations for storing received write requests and associated write addresses prior to the execution of the write requests. The MCU further includes logic, responsive to a read request from the system bus, for reading one or more information units from a memory unit at a location specified by the system address bus. The reading logic includes read request receiving and buffer logic having a plurality of storage locations for storing received read requests and associated read addresses prior to the execution of the read requests. The memory control unit further has logic for comparing a received read address to write addresses stored in the write address buffer, the comparing logic having an output for indicating, when asserted, the occurence of the reception of a read address having a value within a predetermined range of values of one of the stored write addresses.
