Abstract
Method and apparatus for maximizing cache memory throughput in a system where a plurality of requesters may contend for access to a same memory simultaneously. The memory utilizes an interleaved addressing scheme wherein each memory segment is associated with a separate queuing structure and the memory is mapped noncontiguously within the same segment so that all segments are accessed equally. Throughput is maximized as the plurality of requesters are queued evenly throughout the system.
