A memory access patterns differ in the level of [[locality of reference]] and drastically affect [[Cache (computing)|cache]] performance.
 
At one extreme is the [[sequential memory access]] pattern , where data is read , processed, and written in a straightforward incremental manner.
 
Strided or simple 2D access patterns are similarly easy to predict, and are found in implementations of [[linear algebra]] and [[image processing]]. [[Loop tiling]] is an effective approach.
