Circuits and related systems and methods for providing virtual address translation are disclosed. In one embodiment, a circuit comprises a comparator configured to receive as an input a current virtual address and a current attribute associated with the current virtual address, and a prior physical address and a prior virtual address each associated with the current attribute. The comparator is further configured to cause the prior physical address to be provided as a current physical address if the current virtual address matches the prior virtual address associated with the current attribute. As an example, the circuit may be a TLB suppression circuit configured to reduce TLB lookups. Reducing TLB lookups can reduce power dissipation. In this regard, the circuit may also be further configured to suppress a TLB lookup to reduce power dissipation when the current virtual address matches the prior virtual address. |
