Abstract
Aspects of managing Translation Lookaside Buffer (TLB) units are described herein. The aspects may include a memory management unit (MMU) that includes one or more TLB units and a control unit. The control unit may be configured to identify one from the one or more TLB units based on a stream identification (ID) included in a received virtual address and, further, to identify a frame number in the identified TLB unit. A physical address may be generated by the control unit based on the frame number and an offset included in the virtual address.
