ABSTRACT:
Systems and techniques relating to managing a queue memory include, in some implementations, a method comprising: retrieving stored data from an oldest read entry in a FIFO queue memory having entries formed in hardware upon a first read operation; retrieving stored data from a selected entry in the FIFO queue memory upon a second read operation; and shifting data stored in entries of the FIFO queue memory with respect to the oldest read entry upon the first read operation and with respect to the specified entry upon the second read operation. In addition, some implementations include a queue memory comprising a hardware device having memory entries to receive and store data from a communications interface, wherein the queue memory supports first-in-first-out read operations and out-of-order read operations with data shifting among the entries of the memory relative to a read operation.
