  • the data set is divided into multiple subsets;

    a spread memory layout is implemented on the machine-readable media, the spread memory layout defining multiple pages in memory, with a subset of data from the data set being mapped to one or more predetermined portions of each page, the portions being less than the capacity of each page; and

    each page is sized to map to quick access memory of a processor, such that image data when fetched from the machine-readable media are mapped into one or more predetermined portions of quick access memory.
