ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus to improve memory performance in a computer bus system. Memory is divided into interleaved blocks and memory addresses are mapped into block identification numbers. Master devices keep track of which parts of memory are busy by storing memory block identification numbers in local queues whenever memory is accessed. Block identification numbers are removed from local queues when the memory transaction is complete. Master devices arbitrate for access to the bus for memory transactions only if the target memory block identification number is not in the local queue.
