Zusammenfassung:A computer-implemented method for managing a memory control unit includes receiving a command at the memory control unit. The command includes a command type that either requires or does not require buffering resources. The method further includes determining, via the memory control unit, a number of available memory tags from a first set of memory tags that are associated with the buffering resources. The method includes determining, via the memory control unit, a number of available memory tags from a second set of memory tags that are not associated with the buffering resources. The method also includes dynamically adjusting, via the memory control unit, assignment of memory tags for use in the second set of memory tags based on the command type, the number of available memory tags from the first set of memory tags, and the number of available memory tags from the second set of memory tags.
