Abstract:
1. A method of transferring data between a memory comprising several banks and a circuit for processing data via an appropriate interface, said method comprising the steps of: producing access requests defining each time a type of access among the read and write types and designating one or several memory locations arranged in accordance with a sequence suitable for each request, processing the requests in accordance with a successive sequence so as to transfer, for each processed request, data through the interface from the memory location designated by said request to the data processing circuit, or reciprocally, in accordance with the type of access defined by the request, the processing of a single request designating memory locations associated with several banks effecting a transfer of data between the interface and the memory locations in a sequence which is different from the sequence associated with said request, so as to prepare the memory for the transfer of data between the interface and one part of the memory locations at the latest during the realization of the transfer of data between the interface and another part of said memory locations.
