Abstract:
A first address is received and is used to determine a first address range. The first address range includes a second address range and a third address range. If the first address is in the second address range, a fourth address range is determined. The fourth address range is different from the first address range. Information is retrieved from a memory in response to determining that a second address is in the first address range or the fourth address range. If the first address is in the third address range, a fifth address range is determined. The fifth address range is different from the first address range. Other information is retrieved from the memory in response to determining the second address is in the first address range or the fifth address range.
