Abstract
A processor includes a processor core to execute a first translated instruction translated from a first instruction stored in first page of a memory. The processor also includes a translation indicator agent (XTBA) to store a first translation indicator that is read from a physical map (PhysMap) in the memory. In an embodiment, the first translation indicator is to indicate whether the first page has been modified after the first instruction is translated. Other embodiments are described as claimed.
