Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for addressing a sequence of orderly spaced memory locations of a computer system, without requiring the address of each memory location to be retrieved from a register of the computer system. This is accomplished by storing at least part of the sequence into a cache memory of the computer system during a first operation referencing a first memory location within the sequence, detecting that a second operation references a second memory location within the sequence and retrieving the contents of the second memory location from the cache memory in parallel with calculating the memory address of the second memory location.
