Abstract
In one embodiment, a method includes receive a translation vector, selecting a translation entry from a plurality of translation entries, and determining whether the translation entry is associated with a first identifier class or a second identifier class. The translation vector includes a first identifier, a second identifier, and a virtual memory identifier. The first identifier is associated with a first identifier class, and the second identifier is associated with a second identifier class. The translation vector is received from a translation module including a memory configured to store the plurality of translation entries. Each translation entry from the plurality of translation entries including a virtual memory identifier. The translation entry is selected from the plurality of translation entries of the translation module based on the virtual memory identifier of the translation vector. The determining whether the translation entry is associated with the first identifier class or the second identifier class is based on a shared indicator associated with the translation entry.
