Abstract
An integrated circuit includes a memory interface, coupled to a memory to store data corresponding to instructions, and an operations queue to buffer memory operations corresponding to the instructions. The integrated circuit may include acceleration hardware to execute a sub-program corresponding to the instructions. A set of input queues may include an address queue to receive, from the acceleration hardware, an address of the memory associated with a second memory operation of the memory operations, and a dependency queue to receive, from the acceleration hardware, a dependency token associated with the address. The dependency token indicates a dependency on data generated by a first memory operation of the memory operations. A scheduler circuit may schedule issuance of the second memory operation to the memory in response to the dependency queue receiving the dependency token and the address queue receiving the address.
