Abstract:
A memory management unit includes a translation lookaside buffer including a page table. The page table includes M entries where M is an integer greater than zero. A register interface selects one of the M entries. The translation lookaside buffer calculates an effective address based on the selected one of the M entries while at least one of mapping the selected one of the M entries to an index and selecting a set of the M entries based on a control signal.
