Abstract
A device includes a circular buffer, which, in operation, is organized into a plurality of subsets of buffers, and control circuitry coupled to the circular buffer. The control circuitry, in operation, receives a memory load command to load a set of data into the circular buffer. The memory load command has an offset parameter indicating a data offset and a subset parameter indicating a subset of the plurality of subsets into which the circular buffer is organized. The control circuitry responds to the command by identifying a set of buffer addresses of the circular buffer based on a value of the offset parameter and a value of the subset parameter, and loading the set of data into the circular buffer using the identified set of buffer addresses.
