Abstract

A distribution system receives data access requests associated with at least two virtual channels over at least two physical data communication channels. The requests are distributed into at least two sequencers of the distribution system based on a virtual channel associated with each request. The distribution system includes at least two memory modules—one for each of the at least two physical data communication channels. Requests stored in the sequencers are written to the memory modules according to a pattern that assigns sequential requests associated with a common virtual channel to a sequential ordering of the memory modules. The requests are then granted by an arbiter of the distribution system by retrieving requests associated with a common virtual channel from the memory modules using the sequential ordering of the memory modules.
