  2. Translation lookaside buffer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_lookaside_buffer

    The TLB is sometimes implemented as content-addressable memory (CAM). The CAM search key is the virtual address, and the search result is a physical address. If the requested address is present in the TLB, the CAM search yields a match quickly and the retrieved physical address can be used to access memory. This is called a TLB hit.

  3. configure script - Wikipedia

    The script can be and originally was hand-coded. Today, multiple tools are available for generating a configure script based on special configuration files. One commonly used tool is Autotools which generates a Bash script. Obtaining a software package as source code and compiling it locally is a common scenario on Unix and Unix-like ...

  4. System.map - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System.map

    The character between the address and the symbol (separated by spaces) is the type of a symbol. The nm utility program on Unix systems lists the symbols from object files. The System.map is directly related to it, in that this file is produced by nm on the whole kernel program – just like nm lists the symbols and their types for any small object programs.

  5. Page table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_table

    If a match is found, which is known as a TLB hit, the physical address is returned and memory access can continue. However, if there is no match, which is called a TLB miss , the MMU, the system firmware, or the operating system's TLB miss handler will typically look up the address mapping in the page table to see whether a mapping exists ...

  6. Second Level Address Translation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Level_Address...

    When processes use virtual addresses and an instruction requests access to memory, the processor translates the virtual address to a physical address using a page table or translation lookaside buffer (TLB). When running a virtual system, it has allocated virtual memory of the host system that serves as a physical memory for the guest system ...

  7. Memory segmentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_segmentation

    In a system using segmentation, computer memory addresses consist of a segment id and an offset within the segment. [3] A hardware memory management unit (MMU) is responsible for translating the segment and offset into a physical address, and for performing checks to make sure the translation can be done and that the reference to that segment and offset is permitted.

    TLB may refer to: Science and technology. Adaptive transmit load balancing or balance-tlb, a Linux bonding driver mode; Canon TLb, a 35 mm camera;

  9. Thread-local storage - Wikipedia

    The TlsGetValue and TlsSetValue functions are then used to read and write a memory address to a thread-local variable identified by the TLS slot index. TlsSetValue only affects the variable for the current thread. The TlsFree function can be called to release the TLS slot index. There is a Win32 Thread Information Block for each thread.
