Abstract

Memory management includes maintaining a first mapping structure for each thread of a multi-threaded process. A second mapping structure is maintained for each core of a multi-core processing device. A global mapping structure for shared memory mappings is maintained. During thread context switches, copying thread context entries without modifying a page-mapping base address register of each core of the multi-core processing device.
