Abstract:
A memory management unit can receive an address associated with a page size that is unknown to the MMU. The MMU can concurrently determine whether a translation lookaside buffer data array stores a physical address associated with the address based on different portions of the address, where each of the different portions is associated with a different possible page size. This provides for efficient translation lookaside buffer data array access when different programs, employing different page sizes, are concurrently executed at a data processing device.
