Abstract
A request for video or graphics data is made to a memory controller. When the memory controller determines a translation of the data must first be made, a request is made to a translator. The translator either translates the address or requests translation information from the memory controller. The memory controller accesses memory based upon the translator request. If the request is for translation data the results are tagged for the translator. If the translator request is for the translated address, the results are tagged for the original request.
