Abstract
The disclosed embodiments relate to a device for generating physical addresses in a multi-processor computer system. The computer system may be adapted to support multiple physical memory partitions. Agent IDs for each of a plurality of processors may be used to correspond with a partition offset, which may be used to define a separate physical memory partition for each processor. The partition offset may be used with a virtual address to form a physical address.
