Abstract
Two translation lookaside buffers may be provided for simpler operation in some embodiments. A hardware managed lookaside buffer may handle traditional operations. A software managed lookaside buffer may be particularly involved in locking particular translations. As a result, the software's job is made simpler since it has a relatively simpler, software managed translation lookaside buffer to manage for locking translations.
