Abstract
A processing system includes a translation lookaside buffer (TLB). The TLB includes a plurality of TLB entries that are configured to store requested page size indications. The TLB is configured to be indexed via the requested page size indications such that a plurality of TLB requests that each indicate a same virtual address, but different respective requested page sizes are allocated respective TLB entries. As a result, in response to a TLB request that indicates a requested page size and has a virtual address that corresponds to multiple TLB entries, only a single TLB entry is identified as a TLB hit.
