Memory access request

Abstract

There is provided an apparatus, a system, a chip-containing product, a method, and a computer-readable medium. The apparatus comprises a requestor element configured to issue a memory access request, and control circuitry configured to receive the memory access request and to determine a request order in which to forward the received memory access request to a memory component relative to one or more further memory access requests. The control circuitry is configured, when determining the request order, to identify whether the memory access request is associated with a priority hint, and when the memory access request is associated with the priority hint, to prioritise the memory access request ahead of the at least one of the one or more further memory access requests in the request order.
