Line 1: In [[computing]], a '''memory access pattern''' is the pattern with which a system or program ~~accesses~~reads and writes [[Memory (computing)\|memory]]. These patterns differ in the level of [[locality of reference]] and drastically affect [[Cache (computing)\|cache]] performance, and also have implications for the approach to [[parallelism]] and distribution of workload in shared memory systems. Computer memory is usually described as 'random access', but traversals by software will still exhibit patterns that can be exploited for efficiency. == Examples ==
