Abstract:
A streaming engine employed in a digital data processor specifies fixed first and second read only data streams. Corresponding stream address generator produces address of data elements of the two streams. Corresponding steam head registers stores data elements next to be supplied to functional units for use as operands. The two streams share two memory ports. A toggling preference of stream to port ensures fair allocation. The arbiters permit one stream to borrow the other's interface when the other interface is idle. Thus one stream may issue two memory requests, one from each memory port, if the other stream is idle. This spreads the bandwidth demand for each stream across both interfaces, ensuring neither interface becomes a bottleneck.

Claim (Index 4):
The processing device of  claim 3 , wherein the arbiter is further configured to, for each arbitration cycle:\n when the interface has zero memory access credits, not select any memory address supplied by either the first command queue or the second command queue as the selected memory address; and when the interface has greater than zero memory access credits and a memory address supplied by the preferred command queue is available, select the memory address supplied by the preferred command queue as the selected memory address and toggle the selected preference setting of the arbiter to the other of the first and second preference settings.
