Patent ID: 7852344

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a memory having a first memory portion and a second memory portion; and a coder/decoder circuit configured to (i) position a set of atoms across said memory, (ii) define a strip across a portion of said atoms, said strip comprising a rectangular arrangement of said atoms stored in said first and second memory by (a) alternating each atom between said first and second memory in a horizontal direction and (b) alternating every two of said atoms between said first and second memory in a vertical direction, (iii) designate a first atom within said strip, (iv) locate a second atom to be paired with said first atom, (v) determine whether said second atom when paired with said first atom forms a legitimate pair, said legitimate pair occurs when (a) said first atom is positioned in said first memory portion and said second atom is positioned in said second memory portion and (b) said first and second atom are read during a common clock cycle, (vi) read said legitimate pair from said first memory portion and said second memory portion on said common clock cycle, and (vii) repeating until all of said atoms of said strip are read.
