Abstract
A computer system using virtual memory provides hybrid memory access either through a conventional translation between virtual memory and physical memory using a page table possibly with a translation lookaside buffer, or a high-speed translation using a fixed offset value between virtual memory and physical memory. Selection between these modes of access may be encoded into the address space of virtual memory eliminating the need for a separate tagging operation of specific memory addresses.
