Abstract
In a multithreaded processor, the efficiency of instruction processing may be improved by suspending an executing thread during the translation of a virtual memory address to a physical memory address when the address translation data must be retrieved from storage external to the processor. The suspension of an executing thread allows an address translation to be performed for an instruction in another thread while the address translation data needed for the first thread is retrieved.
