Abstract
Examples of techniques for controlling write requests to a memory structure having limited write ports are described herein. An aspect includes storing, in a first queue, write requests received from a first source having a first priority. Another aspect includes storing, in a second queue, write requests received from a second source having a second priority, wherein the second priority is lower than the first priority. Aspects also include identifying a selected queue from the first queue and the second queue based on a selection algorithm, which is a function of a state associated with the first queue and the second queue. Aspects further include forwarding a write request from the selected queue to a write port of the memory structure.
