Abstract
The disclosure is directed to a computational system including a processor, cache memory accessible to the processor, and a memory management unit accessible to the processor. The processor is configured to access a virtual memory space to perform a first task and is configured to access the virtual memory space to perform a second task. The virtual memory space references first and second sets of task instructions associated with the first and second tasks, respectively. The virtual memory space references non-instruction data associated with the first task. The cache memory is configured to store the first set of task instructions and the non-instruction data. The memory management unit is configured to determine the physical memory location of the second set of task instructions. The computational system is configured to not write the first set of task instructions and the non-instruction data to a physical location beyond the cache memory.
