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 12):
A processing device comprising:\n a memory; a streaming engine including a first streaming data unit having a first output to supply memory addresses and a second streaming data unit having a second output to supply memory addresses; and an interface coupled to the memory, the interface including:\n a first arbiter coupled to the first and second streaming data units to receive the memory addresses supplied by the first and second streaming data units, the first arbiter being configured to select a memory address supplied by one of the first and second streaming data units as a first selected memory address based at least partially on a selected preference setting applied to the first arbiter; \n an arbitration controller to apply the selected preference setting to the first arbiter; and \n a first memory port coupled to the first arbiter and to the memory, the first memory port being configured to submit a first memory access request corresponding to the first selected memory address to the memory.
