DYNAMIC SIZING OF TRANSLATION LOOKASIDE BUFFER FOR POWER REDUCTION |
摘要 |
Methods and mechanisms for operating a translation lookaside buffer (TLB). A translation lookaside buffer (TLB) includes a plurality of segments, each segment including one or more entries. A control unit is coupled to the TLB. The control unit is configured to determine utilization of segments, and dynamically disable segments in response to determining that segments are under-utilized. The control unit is also configured to dynamically enable segments responsive to determining a given number of segments are over-utilized.
