Abstract
A method for using a pipelined L2 cache to implement memory transfers for a video processor. The method includes accessing a queue of read requests from a video processor. For each of the read requests, a determination is made as to whether there is a cache line hit corresponding to the request. For each cache line miss, a cache line slot is allocated to store a new cache line responsive to the cache line miss. An in-order set of cache lines is output to the video processor responsive to the queue of read requests.
