Abstract
A computer system includes a memory capable of storing a plurality of data words, and a central processing unit for outputting data words to be stored in the memory. A method and apparatus for facilitating transfer of the data words from the central processing unit to the memory involve accepting and temporarily storing in a storage portion each data word from the central processing unit and then subsequently storing in the memory each temporarily stored data word, the maximum number of data words which can be temporarily stored being selectively set to one of first and second values which are different.
