Abstract
A method and a device for accessing data wherein the data is sequentially stored as data objects. The data objects are identified by a control variable having consecutive integer values. The control variable and the memory address is determined of a first known data object and an estimate for the size of a data object is determined therefrom. The control variable of the requested data object is multiplied by the estimate, as a result whereof an initial value for a memory address of the requested data object is formed. The actual control variable of the data object stored under the initial value is determined, the search for the requested data object being terminated in the case of correspondence between the actual control variable and the desired control variable, and otherwise the search is continued.
