Abstract
Techniques are disclosed relating to resolving memory access hazards. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a memory and circuitry coupled to or comprised in the memory. In this embodiment, the circuitry is configured to receive a sequence of memory access requests for the memory, where the sequence of memory access requests is configured to access locations associated with entries in a matrix. In this embodiment, the circuitry is configured with memory access constraints for the sequence of memory access requests. In this embodiment, the circuitry is configured to grant the sequence of memory access requests subject to the memory access constraints, thereby avoiding memory access hazards for a sequence of memory accesses corresponding to the sequence of memory access requests.
