In various implementations, the address translation circuit includes an address translation table operable to include a subset of address translations for a processor memory. An address translation memory can include all address translations for the processor memory. The address translation circuit can be operable to receive an input address for a transaction to processor memory. The address translation circuit can determine an index for the address translation table by inputting the input address into a hash function. The address translation circuit can read a row from the address translation table using the index. The address translation circuit can determine whether an entry in the row includes an address translation for the input address. The address translation can generate and output a translated address using the address translation.

  • Patent number: 10762137
    Abstract: Provided are systems and methods for an integrated circuit comprising a search engine, which a memory controller can use to manage a page table. In various implementations, the search engine can generate a series of read transactions to read the page table, which is stored in a memory. Each page table entry includes an address translation for processor memory. The memory controller may periodically change the address translations. The search engine can further determine whether data read from an entry in the page table corresponds to a search parameter. The search engine can further output a response, where the response is affirmative when the data read from the entry corresponds to the search parameters, and where the response is negative when no data read from any entry corresponds to the search parameter.
