Abstract
A head and tail caching system. The system includes a tail FIFO memory having a tail input to receive incoming data. A memory is included that is operable to store data that is output from the tail FIFO and output the stored data at a memory output. A multiplexer is included having first and second multiplexer inputs coupled to the tail FIFO and the memory, respectively. The multiplexer has a control input to select one of the multiplexer inputs to coupled to a multiplexer output. A head FIFO memory receives data from the multiplexer output, and outputs the data on an output data path. A controller is operable to transfer one or more blocks data having a selected block size from the tail FIFO to the memory and from the memory to the head FIFO, to achieve a selected efficiency level.
