Abstract
The present invention discloses a method and apparatus for processing strips of data, each strip referencing a plurality of parameter sets stored in a memory. The method comprises: prefetching a plurality of parameter sets referenced in a first strip; performing an operation on each of the prefetched parameter sets; and concatenating a first strip and a second strip to eliminate a memory access latency in the second strip.
