Abstract: A memory manager includes an internal memory and a hash function circuit. The internal memory includes a V2H (virtual address to hash function) table and an exception mapping table. The V2H table stores at least one virtual address group and a type information on a hash function mapped to the virtual address group. The exception mapping table stores at least one exception virtual address not translated into a physical address by the hash function in the virtual address group and a physical address mapped to the exception virtual address.
