Abstract
A comparand that includes a virtual address is received. Upon determining a match of the comparand to a burst entry tag, a candidate matching translation data unit is selected. The selecting is from a plurality of translation data units associated with the burst entry tag, and is based at least in part on at least one bit of the virtual address. Content of the candidate matching translation data unit is compared to at least a portion of the comparand. Upon a match, a hit is generated.
