Byte-swapping in a buffer memory system utilizes a byte-swapping register to avoid wasteful unused buffer memory spaces that may result from a data transfer of partial word data, i.e., bytes of data less than the number of bytes in a word, to the buffer memory. When a data transfer request, e.g., a write...http://www.google.com.tw/patents/US6629168?utm_source=gb-gplus-share專利 US6629168 - Byte-swapping for efficient use of memory
