Abstract
A method for providing hardware support for memory protection and virtual memory address translation for a virtual machine. The method includes executing a host machine application on a host computer system, executing a first virtual machine application within a first virtual machine, and executing a second virtual machine application within a second virtual machine. A plurality of TLB (translation look aside buffer) entries for the first virtual machine application and the second machine application are stored within a TLB of the host computer system. At least one of the plurality of TLB entries is a global TLB entry.
