Abstract
A method and apparatus for sharing memory space of multiple memory units by multiple processing units are described. In an embodiment, a method includes storing a set of data across more than one of at least two memory units upon determining that the number of sets of data is static. The method also includes storing the set of data within a single memory unit of the at least two memory units upon determining that the set of data is dynamic.
