ABSTRACT:
A data recirculation apparatus for a data processing system includes at least one output buffer from which data are output onto an interconnect, a plurality of input storage areas from which data are selected for storage within the output buffer, and selection logic that selects data from the plurality of input storage areas for storage within the output buffer. In addition, the data recirculation apparatus includes buffer control logic that, in response to a determination that a particular datum has stalled in the output buffer, causes the particular datum to be removed from the output buffer and stored in one of the plurality of input storage areas. In one embodiment, the recirculated data has a dedicated input storage area.
