Abstract
Method and apparatus for managing memory logic is described. In one example, user logic, virtual port logic, and a processor are provided. The user logic is configured to provide allocation requests for the memory logic, access requests for the memory logic, and de-allocation requests for the memory logic. The virtual port logic is coupled to the user logic and the memory logic. The processor is coupled to the virtual port logic. The virtual port logic is configured to forward the allocation requests and de-allocation requests to the processor, and to process the access requests. The processor is configured to allocate space in the memory logic in response to the allocation requests and de-allocate space in the memory logic in response to the de-allocation requests.
