Abstract
An apparatus comprises memory access circuitry to access a memory system; a plurality of memory mapped registers, including at least an insert register and a producer pointer register; and control circuitry to perform an insert operation in response to receipt of an insert request from a requester device sharing access to the memory system. The insert request specifies an address mapped to the insert register and an indication of a payload. The insert operation includes controlling the memory access circuitry to write the payload to a location in the memory system selected based on a producer pointer value stored in the producer pointer register, and updating the producer pointer register to increment the producer pointer value.
