Abstract
A technique applicable during the transfer of data to and from a memory involves: operating a memory interface using memory access cycles that each transfer a quantity of data D across the memory interface; receiving a request to transfer a quantity of data Q across the memory interface; and calculating a value M as a function of a plurality of parameters, M being a minimum number of the memory access cycles needed to carry out the transfer of the quantity of data Q across the memory interface, wherein the calculating includes determining a logarithm of one of the parameters, and then determining the value M as a function of the logarithm.
