Abstract
A method of managing storage of data includes assigning one of a plurality of buffer pointers to a first frame of data and storing the first frame of data in a location in memory associated with the assigned buffer pointer. The method also includes determining whether the first frame of data is associated with a sequence of frames and storing the assigned buffer pointer in a first location if the first frame of data is associated with a sequence of frames and a different location if the first frame of data is not associated with a sequence of frames. The method also includes, after storing the assigned buffer pointer, manipulating the first frame of data stored in the location in memory. The manipulation includes accessing the assigned buffer pointer.
