Abstract

A memory controller couples to a number of memory modules and includes a number of control circuits. The control circuits include address counter circuits which are loaded with a portion of the address of each predetermined type of command from a requesting device. This command when decoded causes the controller to read out from the memory modules a predetermined number of words starting with any word boundary at the location specified by the stored address portion.
