Interleaved Memory refers to the memory in which is divided into a set of banks. An interleaved memory with banks is said to be -way interleaved. One way of allocating virtual addresses to memory modules is to divide the memory space into contiguous blocks. The CPU can access alternate sections immediately, without waiting for memory to catch up (through wait states). Interleaved memory is one technique for compensating for the relatively slow speed of dynamic RAM (DRAM).
