CONTEXT-SPECIFIC STORAGE IN MULTI-PROCESSOR OR MULTI-THREADED ENVIRONMENTS USING TRANSLATION LOOK-ASIDE BUFFERS

摘要

A method for maintaining context-specific symbols in a multi-core or multi-threaded processing environment may include, but is not limited to: partitioning a virtual address space into at least one portion associated with the storage of one or more context-specific symbols accessible by at least a first processing core and a second processing core; defining at least one context-specific symbol; storing the at least one context specific symbol to the at least one portion of the virtual address space; and mapping the virtual address of the at least one context-specific symbol to both a physical address associated with the first processing core and a physical address associated with the second processing core.
