DATA PROCESSING APPARATUS, FOR EXAMPLE USING VECTOR POINTERS

摘要

The invention relates to a data processing apparatus (1) adapted to operate under control of an executable. The apparatus (1) comprises: a processor (10), means for addressing an executable stored in a memory (18, 20); and a memory management unit (MMU) (22) for translating a logical address requested by the processor (10) to a physical address located within the memory (18, 20), wherein the physical address is computed based on the location of the executable within the memory (18, 20). The invention extends to a method of operating a data processing apparatus.
