Because the frequency of TLB misses tends to increase with memory footprint, there is pressure on the precise interrupt mechanism to become more lightweight.

When the processor detects a TLB miss, it checks to see if enough space exists within the reorder buffer and enough resources exist, if so, it sets the ...

In-Line Interrupt Handling for Software Managed TLBs. Aamer Jaleel and Bruce Jacob. Electrical and Computer Engineering. University of Maryland at College Park.

In-line interrupt handling for software-managed TLBs can ultimately achieve the same performance as hardware-managed TLBs. Note that hard- ware-managed TLBs ...
