ABSTRACT:
A computer implemented apparatus and method for transferring information from one set or sets of memory locations to another set or sets of memory locations. The present invention has particular advantageous use within a computer system specially implemented for pattern recognition applications, such as handwriting or voice recognition. The present invention includes a system with an automatic sequencer able to sequentially generate sequential source and destination addresses and able to generate appropriate data requests to internal and external memory controllers. The present invention memory to memory transfer unit allows memory transfer operations to occur in parallel with the operation of arithmetic pipelines that process pattern recognition procedures. Therefore, using the present invention, no additional processing time is consumed by a memory transfer. Double buffering is utilized to transfer information and process information in the same time frame.
