Abstract
In an embodiment, a method for managing access to memory includes receiving requests for access to a memory from one or more devices, each particular request associated with one of a plurality of virtual channels. A tag is assigned to each request received. Each tag assigned is added to a linked list associated with the corresponding virtual channel. Each request received with the assigned tag is transmitted to the memory. Responses to the requests are received from the memory, each response having an associated tag, and the responses received are sent to the one or more devices based on the corresponding linked list and the corresponding tag.
