Here's a comparison of writePage and writeBurst, commonly used in memory

operations, highlighting their key differences and typical applications:

writePage:

• Definition: Writes a single page (a fixed-size block of data, often 512 bytes or 4
KB) to memory.
• Process:
o Addresses the starting location of the page.
o Sends the data to be written.
o Initiates a single write operation.
• Typical Applications:
o Writing small, discrete blocks of data.
o Updating specific sections of memory.
o Handling scenarios where fine-grained control over data placement is
required.

writeBurst:

• Definition: Writes multiple consecutive pages (a burst of data) to memory in a

single operation.
• Process:
o Addresses the starting location of the first page.
o Sends a continuous stream of data to be written.
o Initiates a single write operation that encompasses multiple pages.
• Typical Applications:
o Transferring large data sets efficiently.
o Streaming data to memory for continuous processing.
o Optimizing performance for bulk data writes.
