Abstract

Provided are a GPU and a method of managing a memory address thereby. TLBs are configured using an SRAM and an STT-MRAM so that a storage capacity is significantly improved compared to a case where a TLB is configured using an SRAM. Accordingly, the page hit rate of a TLB can be increased, thereby improving the throughput of a device. Furthermore, after a PTE is first written in the SRAM, a PTE having high frequency of use is selected and moved to the STT-MRAM. Accordingly, an increase in TLB update time which may occur due to the use of the STT-MRAM having a low write speed can be prevented. Furthermore, a read time and read energy consumption can be reduced.
