Abstract

A host machine uses a range-based address translation system rather than a conventional page-based system. This enables address translation to be performed with improved efficiency, particularly when nest virtual machines are used. A data processing system utilizes range-based address translation to provide fast address translation for virtual machines that use virtual address space.
