Abstract
A memory device can be used with a shared routing resource that provides access to the memory device. The memory device can include a random access memory (RAM) circuit that includes a plurality of ports configured to provide access to the RAM circuit by the shared routing resource. A memory partition register circuit can be configured to store a plurality of addresses specifying respective context partitions within the RAM circuit. A plurality of pointer register circuits that can each be associated with a corresponding port of the plurality of ports and can be configured to store a respective set of pointers that specify a location in the RAM circuit relative to a respective context partition. Addressing logic that can be configured to provide access to the RAM circuit using the respective set of pointers for each port.
