  • Efficient translation lookaside buffer miss processing in computer systems with a large range of page sizes
    Patent number: 6715057
    Abstract: A system and method is disclosed to efficiently translate virtual-to-physical addresses of large size pages of data by eliminating one level of a multilevel page table. A computer system containing a processor includes a translation lookaside buffer (“TLB”) in the processor. The processor is connected to a system memory that contains a page table with multiple levels. The page table translates the virtual address of a page of data stored in system memory into the corresponding physical address of the page of data. If the size of the page is above a certain threshold value, then translation of the page using the multilevel page table occurs by eliminating one or more levels of the page table. The threshold value preferably is 512 Megabytes.
