Managing access to an external memory in a computing system comprising one or more cores includes: receiving memory requests to access a memory at a memory controller coupled to at least one of the cores; assigning, by the memory controller, respective priorities to the memory requests, the priorities being based on priority configuration information; providing access, by the memory controller, to the memory based on the memory requests according to the assigned priorities. Messages are received at the memory controller to modify the priority configuration information.
