A memory architecture is disclosed for storing macroblocks of an anchor picture. Each macroblock is an i.times.j matrix of p blocks of n.times.m pixels, where i,j,m,n and p are integers, p>1 and p=i.multidot.j. The blocks of each macroblock are consistently ordinalled with an ordinal q, 0.ltoreq.q.ltoreq.p-1....http://www.google.de/patents/US5761423?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US5761423 - Scalable picture storage access architecture for video decoding
