Abstract
Methods and devices for hardware-supported schemes for efficient metadata retrieval are described. The schemes may use hardware to efficiently enforce type safety and speed up memory bound checks without imposing undue memory overhead. Multiple such schemes may be supported by a device, permitting the selection of an optimal scheme based on a given memory allocation request. The schemes may be compatible with legacy code and applicable to a wide range of data objects and system constraints. Compilation, instrumentation, and linking of code to effect such schemes is also described.
