SEQUENTIAL LOCATION ACCESSES IN AN ACTIVE MEMORY DEVICE

Embodiments relate to sequential location accesses in an active memory device that includes memory and a processing element. An aspect includes a method for sequential location accesses that includes receiving from the memory a first group of data values associated with a queue entry at the processing element. A tag value associated with the queue entry and specifying a position from which to extract a first subset of the data values is read. The queue entry is populated with the first subset of the data values starting at the position specified by the tag value. The processing element determines whether a second subset of the data values in the first group of data values is associated with a subsequent queue entry, and populates a portion of the subsequent queue entry with the second subset of the data values.
