Abstract

A disclosed stream memory management circuit includes a first memory controller circuit for accessing a first memory of a first type. A second memory controller circuit is provided for accessing a second memory of a second type different from the first type. An access circuit is coupled to the first and second memory controller circuits for inputting and outputting streaming data. An allocation circuit is coupled to the access circuit, the allocation circuit configured and arranged to select either the first memory or the second memory for allocation of storage for the streaming data in response to attributes associated with the streaming data. A de-allocation circuit is coupled to the access circuit for de-allocating storage assigned to the streaming data from the first and second memories.
