1. A method for sequential location accesses in an active memory device that includes memory and a processing element, the method comprising: receiving from the memory a first group of data values associated with a queue entry at the processing element; reading a tag value associated with the queue entry, the tag value specifying a position from which to extract a first subset of the data values; populating the queue entry with the first subset of the data values starting at the position in the first group of data values specified by the tag value; determining, by the processing element, whether a second subset of the data values in the first group of data values is associated with a subsequent queue entry; and based on determining that the second subset of the data values in the first group of data values is associated with the subsequent queue entry, populating a portion of the subsequent queue entry with the second subset of the data values.
