Abstract
A system and method for allocating memory locations in a buffer memory system is described. The system includes a plurality of memory locations for storage and a controller. The controller controls the storage and retrieval of data from the plurality of memory locations and allocate a first portion of the memory locations to a first buffer, wherein the remaining portion of the memory locations defines a second portion. The controller allocates a portion of the second portion to a second buffer and the remaining portion of the second portion defines a third portion. The controller reserves a portion of the third portion for assignment to the second buffer, wherein, the second buffer is assigned a higher priority over the first buffer. The controller selectively allocates one or more memory locations of the third portion to the first buffer or to the second buffer.
