Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A data array 20 to be stored is first divided into a plurality of blocks 21 . Each block 21 is further sub-divided into a set of sub-blocks 22 , and a set of data for each sub-block 22 is then stored in one or more body blocks 25 . A header data block 23 is stored for each block 21 at a predictable memory address within a header buffer 24 . Each header data block contains pointer data indicating the position within a body block 25 where the data for the sub-blocks for the block 21 that that header data block 23 relates to is stored, and data indicating the size of the stored data for each respective sub-block 22.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of storing an array of data comprising a plurality of data elements in memory, the method comprising: dividing the array of data to be stored into a plurality of blocks, wherein each block comprises a sub-set of the data elements in the data array; dividing each respective block of the data array into a plurality of sub-blocks, wherein each sub-block comprises a sub-set of the data elements of the block that the sub-block relates to; storing for…
