Abstract
Some embodiments of the present disclosure provide an associatively indexed circular buffer (ACB). The ACB may be viewed as a dynamically allocatable memory structure that offers in-order data access (say, first-in-first-out, or 'FIFO') or random order data access at a fixed, relatively low latency. The ACB includes a data store of non-contiguous storage. To manage the pushing of data to, and popping data from, the data store, the ACB includes a contiguous pointer generator, a content addressable memory (CAM) and a free pool.
