Abstract

A method and apparatus of selectively flushing a conflicted write transaction from a memory controller. According to the method, a new transaction is received that identifies a memory address to which the transaction is directed. It is determined whether an address of the new transaction matches an address of any previously queued transaction. When a match occurs, the one previously queued transaction that matches the new transaction is flushed from queue.
