Abstract

A device and method for storing and processing data units. The method includes: storing, at a read request dual port random access (DPR) memory unit, at least one request to read data from a double data rate (DDR) memory unit; storing, at a write request dual port random access (DPR) memory unit, at least one request to write data to a double data rate (DDR) memory unit; selecting a stored request to be sent to the DDR memory unit; wherein if the selected stored request is a write request, storing an ingress data unit at the DDR memory unit; and retrieving a fetched data unit from the DDR memory unit and processing the fetched data unit to provide an egress data unit; wherein the fetched data unit comprises at least a portion of the ingress data unit.
