Abstract
The memory management technology controls, as described herein, access to and monitors availability of common memory resources. In particular, this hardware-based, memory-management technology manages memory access requests to a common memory shared by multiple requesting entities. This includes prioritizing and arbitrating such requests. It further includes minimizing latency of such requests. This abstract itself is not intended to limit the scope of this patent. The scope of the present invention is pointed out in the appending claims.
