Abstract:
Page size prediction is used to predict a page size for a page of memory being accessed by a memory access instruction such that the predicted page size can be used to access an address translation data structure. By doing so, an address translation data structure may support multiple page sizes in an efficient manner and with little additional circuitry disposed in the critical path for address translation, thereby increasing performance.
