ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus to efficiently handle read completions that satisfy a read request are presented. The apparatus comprises a first port to receive data that partially satisfies a read request, a second port, wherein the data is forwarded via the second port if the second port is idle, a buffer to store the data if the second port is busy, and a combiner to combine the stored data with additional data that partially satisfies the read request as the additional data is received via the first port, wherein the second port forwards the combined data when the second port is not busy.
