Characterization of TLB and page allocation behavior on modern processors
2012
Virtual memory support is prevalent in most modern processors and is facilitated through Translation Lookaside Buffers (TLBs) which play a major role in the overall system performance. TLB misses are costly since they require multiple high latency memory references to walk the page table and locate the desired Virtual Page Number (VPN) - Physical Page Number (PPN) mapping. This study improves TLB hit rates by taking advantage of any contiguity present in the pages allocated by the Operating
