Zusammenfassung:Methods and apparatus monitor memory access activities of non-real-time processing engines to determine time intervals when the memory access activities are low. When such time intervals are found, the methods and apparatus perform burst memory access control for real-time processing engines by bursting data from a memory to a burst memory buffer, or from the burst memory buffer to the memory, to allow fast data access by the real-time processing engines.
