Abstract
A memory access system including a memory in which data is organized in pages, each page holding a sequence of data elements; means for receiving a requested address including a requested page address and a requested data element address; logic for accessing a current page from the memory using a current page address; logic for reading out data elements of the current page in the sequence in which they are held in memory; logic for comparing the requested page address with the current page address and for issuing a memory access request with the requested page address when they are not the same; and logic operable when the requested page address is the same as the current page address for comparing a requested data element address with the current address of a data element being read out and returning the data element when the requested data element address matches the current data element address.
