ABSTRACT:
A system maintains a first counter value that indicates a number of times memory addresses in a memory address pool have been replenished. The system further maintains a second counter value that indicates a number of times a circular buffer has been filled with memory addresses retrieved from the memory address pool. The system ages memory addresses allocated to memory write requests based on the first and second counter values.
