Abstract
A memory controller with a separate transaction table for real-time transactions is disclosed. A system includes a plurality of agents and a memory controller configured to receive real-time and non-real-time memory requests from ones of the plurality of agents. The memory controller includes a real-time incoming transaction table configured to store those memory requests received from a subset of the plurality of agents that are real-time memory requests, and a non-real-time incoming transaction table configured to store those memory requests received from the subset of the plurality of agents that are non-real-time memory requests. The memory controller further includes an arbitration circuit configured to select a memory request from among memory requests stored in the real-time and non-real-time incoming transaction tables and further configured to enforce a quality of service policy for the real-time memory requests.
