Abstract
A computer system with mechanisms for avoiding mapping conflicts in a translation look-aside buffer. A memory manager in the computer system allocates a virtual address to a process by determining a set of previously allocated virtual addresses for the process and selecting the virtual address such that the mapping of the virtual address to the translation look-aside buffer does not conflict with any of the previously allocated virtual addresses.
