Abstract
A translation look-aside buffer with a variable page size per entry is disclosed. Each entry can have a different number of bits translated from a virtual address to a physical address. Each entry in the TLB contains an indication of the page size for that entry. When the translation is done, the indication of page size determines how many bits are translated.
