Abstract
The present invention is directed to a buffer partitioning system and a method employing the system to dynamically partition buffer resources among multiple data streams. The buffer partitioning system utilizes context information relating to the streaming data to control the flow of data through the buffer resource. By including a buffer partitioning system, multiple data streams may be more efficiently transferred through buffer resources thus resulting in faster data transfers.
