SIGNAL PROCESSING SYSTEM, INTEGRATED CIRCUIT COMPRISING BUFFER CONTROL LOGIC AND METHOD THEREFOR
First Claim
1. A signal processing system comprising:
- buffer control logic arranged to allocate a plurality of buffers for the storage of information fetched from at least one memory element, wherein, upon receipt of fetched information to be buffered, the buffer control logic is arranged to;
categorise the information to be buffered according to at least one of;
a first category associated with sequential flow and a second category associated with change of flow; and
the buffer control logic is arranged to prioritise respective buffers from the plurality of buffers storing information relating to the first category associated with sequential flow ahead of buffers storing information relating to the second category associated with change of flow when allocating a buffer for the storage of the fetched information to be buffered.

Abstract
A signal processing system comprising buffer control logic arranged to allocate a plurality of buffers for the storage of information fetched from at least one memory element. Upon receipt of fetched information to be buffered, the buffer control logic is arranged to categorise the information to be buffered according to at least one of: a first category associated with sequential flow and a second category associated with change of flow, and to prioritise respective buffers from the plurality of buffers storing information relating to the first category associated with sequential flow ahead of buffers storing information relating to the second category associated with change of flow when allocating a buffer for the storage of the fetched information to be buffered.

10. A method for buffering information, the method comprising:
-
receiving information to be buffered; categorising the information to be buffered according to at least one of a first category associated with sequential flow and a second category associated with change of flow; and prioritising buffers storing information relating to the first category associated with sequential flow ahead of buffers storing information relating to the second category associated with change of flow when allocating a buffer for the storage of the fetched information to be buffered.
