Abstract
Exploiting virtual address (VA) spatial locality using translation lookaside buffer (TLB) entry compression in processor-based devices is disclosed herein. In some aspects, a processor-based device comprises a TLB, comprising multiple TLB entries each comprising a tag and a plurality of data portions, and further comprises a memory management unit (MMU). The MMU is configured to receive a memory access request comprising a VA, and determine that a TLB access to the TLB for a page VA of the VA results in a miss. In response, the MMU generates a TLB entry, wherein the tag of the TLB entry comprises the page VA, the plurality of data portions comprises a corresponding plurality of page PAs, a first data portion thereof comprising a page PA corresponding to the page VA, and one or more second data portions thereof comprising corresponding PAs of next sequential page VAs following the page VA.
