Abstract
Included are embodiments for a method for servicing memory read requests. At least one embodiment of a method includes receiving read requests from the I/O device; testing predetermined fields from the read requests to predict a type of read request; and when the type of request is predicted to be a data read request, then route the read request to a first queue. Additionally, some embodiments include when the type of request is predicted to be a control read request, then route the read request to a second queue, wherein the second queue has a higher priority than the first queue; determining which of the first queue and second queue to read; retrieving at least one of the read requests from the determined queue; and processing the retrieved read request.
