Abstract
Techniques to buffer and present chunks are disclosed. In some embodiments, a first interface may receive chunks of a first cache line, and a second interface may receive chunks of a second cache line. A buffer may store chunks of the first cache line in a first chunk order and may store chunks of the second cache line in a second chunk order. A control unit may present a requester via the second interface with one or more chunks of the first cache line from the buffer.
