Abstract
A computer system and method for storing data in pages of memory according to a data structure which is stored within the memory and identifies the pages of data. The data structure includes a beginning buffer pointer and an ending buffer pointer. The beginning and ending buffer pointers have page address portions and base address portions. The base address portion of the beginning buffer pointer is changed each time a data location is accessed. The page address portion of the beginning buffer pointer is replaced with the page address portion of the ending buffer pointer when the base address portion of the beginning buffer pointer reaches a page boundary.
