Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for performing a method for compressing page table entries (PTEs) prior to storing the PTEs in a translation look-aside buffer (TLB). A page table entry (PTE) request is received for a PTE that is not stored in the TLB. The PTE as well as a plurality of PTEs that are adjacent to the PTE are retrieved from a memory. The PTE and the plurality of PTEs are compressed and then stored in the TLB.
