Memory address interleaving and offset bits for cell interleaving of memory

An interleaved method of accessing, as a contiguous logical address space, a plurality of m memories organized into memory segments, the method comprising the steps of:

• i) organizing ones of said memory segments of equal size from different ones of said memories into corresponding interleave groups, wherein the memory segments are distributed over multiple memory banks located within multiple memory cells, wherein the multiple cells are part of a distributed memory system;
• ii) selecting a first of said interleave groups having a largest total memory size;
• iii) generating a first interleave entry in a table mapping an initial logical address space into each of said memory segments corresponding to said first interleave group;
• iv) determining a total memory size value based on said first interleave group;
• v) selecting a next largest memory group such that said total memory value is an integer multiple thereof;
• vi) generating a next interleave entry in said table mapping a next logical address space into each of said memory segments corresponding to said next interleave group;
• vii) updating said total memory size value;
• and
• viii) repeating steps v through vii until all of said contiguous logical address space has been mapped onto said memories.
