A direct memory access (DMA) system includes a read request circuit configured to receive read requests from a plurality of client circuits. The DMA system includes a response reassembly circuit configured to reorder read completion data received from a plurality of different hosts in response to the read requests. The DMA system includes a read scheduler circuit configured to schedule conveyance of the read completion data from the response reassembly circuit to the plurality of client circuits. The DMA system includes a data pipeline circuit implementing a plurality of data paths coupled to respective ones of the plurality of client circuits for conveying the read completion data as scheduled by the read scheduler circuit.
