....the short format VHPT. This means it cannot support sharing of TLB entries, which is supported by the architecture only with the long VHPT format. The long format is also required to support mixing page sizes (so called superpages) which has been shown to improve performance significantly [NIDC02] However, these features would be of little use if their benefit was compensated by a performance degradation resulting from the use of the long format page table. The purpose of this report is to investigate the cost of using the long VHPT format. We present an implementation of the ....
....short VHPT format. The most important aspect of the two page table formats is that the short format does not support many of the Itanium s MMU features, in particular TLB entry sharing and mixed page sizes (superpages) The latter have been shown to lead to significant performance improvements [NIDC02] and they ought to be utilised by operating systems running on Itanium. Before embarking on a superpage implementation, however, it makes sense to assess the potential performance degradation resulting from the long VHPT format. 3 Approach In the following we describe our implementation of the ....
