Abstract

A method for initializing a memory area, the method includes: receiving a request to access a first memory sub of a first memory area that comprises multiple memory sub areas; and initializing the first memory sub area if a first memory area initialization indicator differs from a first memory sub area initialization request indicator; wherein the first memory area initialization request indicator is a multiple bit variable indicative of a time of a last request to initialize the first memory area and the first memory sub area initialization indicator is a multiple bit variation indicative of a time of a request to initialize the first memory area that resulted in a last initialization of the first memory sub area.
