Patent abstract
An example method includes receiving a request to change a page size managed by a translation lookaside buffer (TLB), wherein the TLB is currently managing a first page size, and the request specifies a second page size different than the first page size; in response to the request: determining a number of lower-order bits for addressing memory location within pages of the second page size; and configuring the TLB to perform lookups within the memory subsystem using a number of higher-order bits for addressing pages of the second page size, wherein the number of higher-order bits is dependent on the number of lower-order bits.
