ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to providing an organized memory which is accessed by multiple memory controllers while still exploiting the efficiencies which the organized memory was intended to provide. In accordance with exemplary embodiments, optimal efficiency in using the shared memory is achieved by buffering memory accesses which will not increase overhead during a memory write cycle. As a result, interruptions by one controller while another controller is accessing the shared memory are reduced to a minimum.
