Abstract
The present invention relates to computer systems utilizing a TLB with variable sized pages. This invention detects conflicts between address tags stored in the TLB and a prospective address tag. In particular this invention detects conflicts when the prospective tag represents an address space that overlaps, wholly includes or is included in the address space represented by a tag stored in the TLB. By detecting tag conflicts utilizing hardware, a tremendous performance gain is achieved over systems utilizing prior art software systems.
