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.
