  • Computer system apparatus for improving access to memory by deferring write operations
    Patent number: 4347567
    Abstract: An improvement is disclosed for a computer system wherein a high speed peripheral device sends data words of a first length to a memory which operates with a word of a greater length, for example, twice the data word length. The improvement includes an apparatus for identifying pairs of data words which belong together in a single memory word. Then, a pair of the data words can be written to memory in a single operation, rather than two separate write operations.
