Abstract

Memory is divided up during the gathering of histogram data so that a portion of the memory is configured for storing the high counts expected at the minimum and maximum codes/addresses, and at least one other portion is configured for storing the lower counts expected at other codes/addresses. By configuring memory portions in this manner, memory can be more efficiently allocated.
