ABSTRACT:
Various systems and methods for buffer memory management are disclosed. In one embodiment a buffer memory includes at least one queue configured to store a number of buffer access tasks. Buffer reclamation logic is executed to free at least one segment of the buffer memory holding an amount of stale data. Buffer reclamation logic is also included that enables the buffer reclamation logic to submit a buffer access task to the buffer memory based upon a total number of the buffer access tasks stored in the at least one queue.
