  • Patent number: 10241925
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for selecting default page sizes in a variable page size translation lookaside buffer (TLB) are disclosed. In one embodiment, a system includes at least one processor, a memory subsystem, and a first TLB. The first TLB is configured to allocate a first entry for a first request responsive to detecting a miss for the first request in the first TLB. Prior to determining a page size targeted by the first request, the first TLB specifies, in the first entry, that the first request targets a page of a first page size. Responsive to determining that the first request actually targets a second page size, the first TLB reissues the first request with an indication that the first request targets the second page size. On the reissue, the first TLB allocates a second entry and specifies the second page size for the first request.
