PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an address conversion technique for receiving a virtual address and converting it to a physical address. SOLUTION: A memory management unit receives the virtual address and provides the corresponding physical address. The memory management unit stores generated virtual address-to-physical address conversions. If a virtual address-to-physical address conversion is available for a particular virtual address, the memory management unit retrieves the corresponding physical address. If a conversion is not available, the memory management unit generates the corresponding physical address from the virtual address. The memory management unit converts the virtual address to a modified virtual address using a process identifier and then performs a page table walk, by using the modified virtual address and generating the physical address.
