ABSTRACT:
A plurality of single port memories are provided for use with a single instruction multiple data processor. These are operable as a multi-port memory with simultaneous access to the plurality of single port memories. The apparatus is operable to send an access request for a plurality of memory locations to the locations in a known order. This request is then reordered to be suitable for application to the single port memories. The memories are then accessed and the data reordered to conform with the access request format.
