Abstract: In a named data processing system having a plurality of memory modules, each module therein having a plurality of locations for storing data pages and the like, a memory address translation apparatus and method translates a data job name and associated segmented address field into a memory module-page addressing pair wherein each and every storage location may be accessed by each and every job name. The job name and the associated segmented address field are each partitioned into most and least significant bit fields. Through translation a storage location is defined by the exclusive ORing of the least significant fields of the data job name and segmented address field. Likewise a memory module is defined by the exclusive ORing of the most significant fields of the job name and the segmented address field as permuted by an exclusive ORing with the least significant field of the segmented address field.
