Claim 10:
11. A method comprising:
storing, in one or more buffers of a processor circuit, load and store memory requests for transmission to one or more memories external to the processor;
storing, in one or more configuration registers of the processor circuit, information indicative of a first range of physical addresses of one or more memories that are reserved for real-time memory requests, wherein addresses in a second, non-overlapping range of physical addresses are shared between real-time and non-real-time memory requests;
indicating, in the one or more configuration registers, portions of the one or more buffers that are reserved for real-time memory requests;
performing, in a load-store circuit of the processor circuit, loads of data from and stores of data to the one or more memories; and
tagging a particular memory request as a real-time memory request in response to detecting that a physical address of the particular memory request falls within the first range of physical addresses.
