Abstract

A write hub is described. The write hub has a plurality of registers. Each one of the registers helps generate a write address to a different memory bank from amongst a plurality of memory banks. Each of the registers are arranged in a ring so that each register can pass a pointer value toward a next register within the ring. The ring of registers further comprise a multiplexer between each of the registers. Each multiplexer has an output path that flows toward a next register within the ring relative to the multiplexer. Each multiplexer can introduce a pointer value to the ring at a next register within the ring.
