Abstract: A global navigation satellite system (GNSS) includes an efficient memory sharing architecture that provides additional search capacity by, e.g., sharing a portion of GNSS receiver processor memory with a general processor. A memory management unit dynamically revectors memory accesses in accordance with the various states of the GNSS receiver processor and arranging the available memory as a shared memory bank that can be efficiently shared between the general processor and the GNSS receiver processor. An optional ancillary memory system can provide additional memory to the general processor when the GNSS receiver processor has allocated memory that the general processor would otherwise use.
