Abstract

There is disclosed a method of storing an encoded block of data in memory comprising encoding a block of data elements and determining a memory location (26) at which the encoded block of data is to be stored. The memory location (26) at which the encoded block of data is stored is then indicated in a header (406) for the encoded block of data by including in the header a memory address value (407) together with a modifier value (500) representing a modifier that is to be applied to the memory address value (407) when determining the memory location (26). When the encoded block of data is to be retrieved, the header (406) is read and processed to determine the memory location (26).
