ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the invention is an apparatus for assembling data for virtual concatenation. The apparatus includes an auxiliary memory having a set of storage locations for data. The apparatus also includes an external memory having a set of storage locations for data. The apparatus further includes a data assembler coupled to the auxiliary memory and the external memory. The data assembler is to read data of a virtual container from the external memory. The data assembler is also to store data of the virtual container in the auxiliary memory. The data assembler is further to determine if all data of the virtual container is present in the auxiliary memory. The data assembler is also to generate a set of addresses of the data of the virtual container in the auxiliary memory. The data assembler is further to read the data of the virtual container from the auxiliary memory. The data assembler is also to interleave the data of the virtual container.
