  • Address space manipulation in a processor
    Patent number: 5699542
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for configuring the address space of a computer is described. According to the present invention, a computer system has a full address space and includes at least one base unit, at least one expansion unit and a microprocessor core. The microprocessor core issues access addresses. The full address space includes a base address space and an expanded address space. The base address space is addressed by an M bit address and the expanded address space is addressed by an N bit address (N.gtoreq.M). Each base unit is mapped to an address within the base address space, and the base unit address is mirrored in the expanded address space. Each expansion unit is mapped to an address within the expanded address space. An address configuration circuit in the computer system includes an address space remapping circuit for selectively remapping or not remapping base units out of the base address space.
