Abstract
Techniques for address translation are disclosed. A processor core is accessed. The processor core includes a memory management unit (MMU) and a unified translation lookaside buffer (TLB) within the MMU. The TLB is configured to support a plurality of page sizes, and the processor core is coupled to an external memory system. The TLB receives a lookup request for a virtual memory address, wherein the virtual memory address corresponds to a process running on the processor core. The TLB accesses a linked list that comprises a page size priority order for the plurality of page sizes. A lookup is performed in the TLB on the virtual memory address, and the lookup is conducted in the page size priority order. The linked list is updated, the updating moves a page size associated with the lookup to a location in the linked list, and a physical address is returned.
