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 16):
The processing device of  claim 15 , further comprising:\n a second 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 second arbiter being configured to select a memory address supplied by one of the first and second streaming data units as a second selected memory address based at least partially on a selected preference setting applied to the second arbiter; and a second memory port coupled to the second arbiter and to the memory, the second memory port being configured to submit a second memory access request corresponding to the second selected memory address to the memory; wherein the second arbiter is further configured to select the second selected memory address based at least partially on how many memory access credits are presently assigned to the second memory port, the number of memory access credits assigned to the second memory port indicating how many memory access requests the second memory port is permitted to submit to the memory.
