Patent ID: 8848731

Claim:
A system for facilitating data transfers with a shared non-local memory, comprising: a radio frequency (RF) subsystem including an antenna for receiving data; one or more signal processors to process the data; and a first data transfer controller for facilitating transfer of the data between the system and the shared non-local memory over a non-deterministic bus shared by at least a second data transfer controller, the first data transfer controller to: receive a real-time data transfer request from the RF subsystem to transfer real-time data to the shared non-local memory; assign a first priority level to the real-time data transfer request; receive a playback data transfer request from the one or more signal processors to transfer playback data between the one or more signal processors and the shared non-local memory; assign a second priority level to the playback data transfer request; and initiate a real-time data transfer corresponding to the real-time data transfer request based on the first priority level being higher than the second priority level.
