Abstract
A buffer memory system provides independent memory blocks, each with independent addressing and data paths, for a processor and input and output devices. The processor can configure the data paths so that an input device can initially supply data to a first memory block. The processor can then assign a second block for input and operate on the data in the first block. The processor can store the results of the process in a third block that has been assigned to an output device. The memory blocks and the associated data paths can paired for operating with a processor with a wider data bus.
