Abstract
A system is provided that facilitates read access in a memory device. The system comprises a plurality of row addresses buffers that store high order addresses associated with one or more software threads. The system further comprises a plurality of row data buffers. The row data buffers are each associated with at least one row address buffer and store row data within the range of the high order addresses of the row address buffers. The system increase memory device performance by limiting the latency associated with context switching. The plurality of row address buffers and row data buffers enables software threads to associate with one or more buffers and maintain efficient subsequent memory accesses despite context switching.
