Abstract
A method of optimized congruence class matching for concurrent memory translation requests to avoid memory access conflicts with respect to a virtual memory managed by a processor is provided. The method includes initiating a first table walk by a first memory access of the concurrent memory translation requests and pending a subsequent table walk initiated by a subsequent memory access of the concurrent memory translation requests. Then, the method determines whether the subsequent table walk will cause a memory access conflict with the first table walk based on the optimized congruence class matching. The subsequent memory access is rejected when the subsequent table walk will cause the memory access conflict with the first table walk.
