Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a decompression engine that can request compressed data to be transferred over a memory bus. In some cases, the memory bus is a width that requires multiple data transfers to transfer the requested data. In a case that requested data is to be presented in-order to the decompression engine, a re-order buffer can be used to store entries of data. When a head-of-line entry is received, the entry can be provided to the decompression engine. When a last entry in a group of one or more entries is received, all entries in the group are presented in-order to the decompression engine. In some examples, a decompression engine can borrow memory resources allocated for use by another memory client to expand a size of re-order buffer available for use. For example, a memory client with excess capacity and a slowest growth rate can be chosen to borrow memory resources from.
