....memory utilisation, and secondly, the effects of the physical page allocation restrictions on physically tagged cache was recognised but not quantified in the study. To address the deficiencies of the partial subblock TLB, Channon and Koch proposed a multi dimensional TLB [Channon and Koch, 1997; Channon and Koch, 1996] which is a superset of the partial subblock TLB. The proposed design provides superior opportunities for TLB entry sharing and provides a degree of careful mapping [Kessler and Hill, 1992] of pages which can minimise physical cache line contention. The combination of the two techniques has shown ....

....Translation Lookaside Buffers 3 specifying a segment and offset pair. While the multi dimensional approach views virtual memory in multiple dimensions, the semantics of the subblocked TLB is retained with the page block, its subblocks and possible intermediate subblocks depending on the dimension [Channon and Koch, 1996]. The multi dimensional TLB is a superset of the partial subblock since it maps super block pages and can share the translations of the subblock pages. The primary difference is in the relaxation of the alignment restrictions. Figure 1 illustrates the partial subblock, 2 dimensional TLB and Sparse ....
