Processor using a level 3 translation lookaside buffer implemented in off-chip …

Abstract

A processor architecture utilizing a L3 translation lookaside buffer (TLB) to reduce page walks. The processor includes multiple cores, where each core includes a L1 TLB and a L2 TLB. The processor further includes a L3 TLB that is shared across the processor cores, where the L3 TLB is implemented …
