ABSTRACT:
A dynamic allocation system and method is provided for allocating memory bandwidth associated with a store and forward memory communicating between a node processsor and a network. Dynamic allocation is controlled by a state machine in a network adapter, which monitors on a real time basis the active users of the network adapter memory, the node processor writing or reading adapter memory, the network sending port, and the network receiving port. Bandwidths are allocated to users with instant response to user bandwidth demand changes. Programmable options allow a node processor to control bandwidth allocations for various user scenarios.
