Abstract

A memory linked address generator and method for a complex arithmetic processor executing an algorithm sequence includes memories, a clock for generating a clock cycle, and a decoder for determining position of the complex arithmetic processor within the algorithm sequence. The decoder is coupled to the clock and address pointer generators are coupled to the decoder and to the memories. The address pointer generators generate address pointers within the clock cycle for at least some of the memories in response to the position of the complex arithmetic processor within the algorithm sequence.
