Abstract

In one general aspect, a stream-based memory circuit is disclosed that includes physical storage elements and at least a first physical access port. A stream-based access controller is operatively connected to the physical storage elements and to the access port. The controller includes function-specific hardware logic operative to access data as streams in the physical memory in response to stream-based access commands at the access port.
