A processor's translation lookaside buffer (TLB) caches the mappings fromvirtual to physical addresses. Looking up virtual addresses is expensive,so good performance often depends on making the best use of the TLB. Inthe memory-management track of the 2017 Linux Storage, Filesystem, andMemory-Management Summit, Mike Kravetz described a SPARC processor featurethat can improve TLB performance and explored ways in which that featurecould be supported.
