Zusammenfassung: | A fast and lean way of performing logical-to-physical address translation is presented. A logical address is divided into a most significant bits portion and a least significant bits portion. Instead of using the entire logical address to locate an entry in an address translation table, only the most significant bits portion of the logical address is used, which substantially reduces the size of the address translation table. The entry includes a most significant bits portion of a physical volatile memory address and a most significant bits portion of a physical non-volatile memory address. The actual physical volatile memory address and the actual physical non-volatile memory address can be derived by combining the most significant bits portions of the addresses stored in the address translation table entry with the least significant bits portion of the logical address. |
