ABSTRACT:
A system and method for storing a multidimensional array of data, such as a two dimensional (2-D) array of video data, in a non-contiguous memory space. The system and method maps individually indexed elements of a multidimensional array of data from a source device into blocks of non-contiguous memory available in a destination memory system, even when the destination blocks are small and/or their size does not correlate in any way to the dimensions of a source buffer. In particular, the blocks of non-contiguous memory may be as small as a single element of the data indexed in the 2-D array.
