Abstract
In some embodiments a processing device is disclosed. The processing device is configured to read data from a memory device. The processing device transmits a read request to the memory device for a data block at a certain address and reads the data block for the certain address from the memory device. The processing device dynamically detects boundaries for the data block read by detecting an alignment pattern in data received from the memory device. Other embodiments are otherwise disclosed herein.
