Abstract:
Aspects of the present disclosure involve an apparatus including a port interface coupled with a data bus to receive memory transaction commands, and a command queue coupled with the port interface. Additional aspects include methods of operating such an apparatus, and electronic design automation (EDA) devices to generate design files associated with such an apparatus. The command queue includes a plurality of memory entries to store memory transaction commands, a placement logic module to combine a received memory transaction command with a memory transaction command previously stored in one of the plurality of memory entries of the command queue, and a selection logic module to determine an order to transmit memory transaction commands stored in the plurality of memory entries and transmit the stored memory transaction commands according to the determined order to a memory interface.
