A configurable memory manager is configurable with various configuration parameters. The configurable memory manager has client ports for receiving requests for accessing memories and memory ports for accessing respective memories. The client and memory ports are each independently configurable to specify the parameter of a data width of the port. The configurable memory manager includes a switch and a translator. The translator translates a virtual address in each of the requests into an identifier of one of the memories and a physical address in the memory. The switch transfers each request from the client port receiving the request to the memory port for accessing the memory identified by the identifier for the virtual address in the request.
