Abstract

In an emulation of a multiprocessor Target computer system on a Host computer system, Host virtual memory addresses are mapped and utilized as Target virtual memory addresses. Target virtual memory control tables are setup accordingly. Virtual-to-real address translation of a Target system effective address to a Host system virtual addresses is performed by identifying a working space for the effective address, determining a working space base address for that working space, and then performing a linear translation multiplying the effective address by a constant and adding it to the working space base address to generate the host system virtual address.
