摘要：An apparatus for and method of providing a system whereby a number ofprocessors may communicate with a memory device and wherein the memory device mayoperate at a slower speed without substantially reducing the band pass of the computersystem. Further, one or more of the processors may have a different data word widthfrom the other processors and from the memory device. The present invention mayminimize the amount of wasted memory bits contained therein by concatenating datawords such that the resulting data word substantially matches the word width of thememory device. The present invention further allows predefined portions of a data wordto be placed in an order and concatenated with predefined portions of the same dataword or with predefined portions of other data words. A number of predeterminedformats define the selection and the order that the predefined portions may be placed.Various formats are contemplated and are described herein.
