strided

strided
 /stri:'d@d/, adj.

   [scientific computing] Said of a sequence of memory reads and writes
   to addresses, each of which is separated from the last by a constant
   interval called the stride length. These can be a worst-case access
   pattern for the standard memory-caching schemes when the stride length
   is a multiple of the cache line size. Strided references are often
   generated by loops through an array, and (if your data is large enough
   that access-time is significant) it can be worthwhile to tune for
   better locality by inverting double loops or by partially unrolling
   the outer loop of a loop nest. This usage is borderline techspeak; the
   related term memory stride is definitely techspeak.

   /str:'d*d/ (scientific computing) Said of a sequence of memory
   reads and writes to addresses, each of which is separated from
   the last by a constant interval called "the stride length", or
   just "the stride".  These can be a worst-case access pattern
   for {cache} schemes when the stride length is a multiple of
   the {cache line} size.

   Strided references are often generated by loops through an
   {array}, and (if the data is large enough that access-time is
   significant) it can be worthwhile to tune for better locality
   by inverting double loops or by partially unrolling the outer
   loop of a loop nest.
