Abstract
Allocating potentially needed resources for a transaction before having completely received the transaction is disclosed. An initial part of a transaction is received in first clock cycle. The resources potentially needed by the transaction are determined based on the initial part thereof that has been received, and allocated. The transaction then proceeds. The final part of the transaction is received in a final clock cycle. The resources actually needed by the transaction from the resources previously allocated are determined based on the remaining part thereof that has been received. Any unneeded remaining resources are then deallocated.
