Abstract
A device to change the ordering of datums in a packet from a storage device to a pre-determined ordering according to their addresses. The device has a first circuit to receive and process address information to determine a data ordering of data associated with the address information; and a second circuit to reorder the data into ordered packets in the predetermined ordering. This device can be used to efficiently transfer graphic data through the AGP bus in a computer.
