Abstract

An address conversion unit for a multiprocessor system including a common memory, and in which at least one processor includes a private memory, with the private memory and common memory having separate and distinct memory spaces. The conversion unit converts addresses between private addresses that are used within the processor itself and addresses that are used to retrieve contents of locations in common memory.
