  • Virtual memory mapping method and system for memory management of pools of logical partitions for bat and TLB entries in a data processing system
    Patent number: 5721858
    Abstract: A method and system for memory management and address translation mapping of pools of logical partitions for BAT and TLB entries in a data processing system is provided. An entry in an address translation buffer is created that is associated with a particular block of virtual memory comprised of a plurality of logical partitions that are grouped in one or more pools of logical partitions, wherein the size of each pool of logical partitions is equal to a preselected page size for real memory, and wherein the entry maps each pool of logical partitions to a page of real memory within a sector of real memory, wherein the size of the sector is a function of the size of the associated block of virtual memory.
