Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus, method, and system to precisely position packets for a queue based memory controller. The memory controller operates with a queue having a plurality of queue positions. A timestamp logic circuit in communication with the memory controller designates scheduled times for each queue position. The memory controller may schedule a packet for a queue position at a scheduled time. The timestamp logic circuit utilizes a plurality of bubble adders to add bubbles to queue positions to adjust the scheduled time for a packet to precisely position the packet.
