  2. Intel 5-level paging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_5-level_paging

    Intel 5-level paging, referred to simply as 5-level paging in Intel documents, is a processor extension for the x86-64 line of processors. [1]: 11 It extends the size of virtual addresses from 48 bits to 57 bits by adding an additional level to x86-64's multilevel page tables, increasing the addressable virtual memory from 256 TiB to 128 PiB.

  3. Physical Address Extension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_Address_Extension

    In computing, Physical Address Extension (PAE), sometimes referred to as Page Address Extension, [1] is a memory management feature for the x86 architecture. PAE was first introduced by Intel in the Pentium Pro, and later by AMD in the Athlon processor. [2]

  4. Page table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_table

    Two-level page table structure in x86 architecture (without PAE or PSE). Three-level page table structure in x86 architecture (with PAE, without PSE). The inverted page table keeps a listing of mappings installed for all frames in physical memory. However, this could be quite wasteful.

  5. Virtual memory compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_memory_compression

    By reducing the I/O activity caused by paging requests, virtual memory compression can produce overall performance improvements. The degree of performance improvement depends on a variety of factors, including the availability of any compression co-processors, spare bandwidth on the CPU, speed of the I/O channel, speed of the physical memory, and the compressibility of the physical memory ...

  6. Protected mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protected_mode

    In computing, protected mode, also called protected virtual address mode, [1] is an operational mode of x86-compatible central processing units (CPUs). It allows system software to use features such as segmentation, virtual memory, paging and safe multi-tasking designed to increase an operating system's control over application software.

  7. Ice Lake (microprocessor) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Lake_(microprocessor)

    Ice Lake was designed by Intel Israel's processor design team in Haifa, Israel. [17] [18]Ice Lake is built on the Sunny Cove microarchitecture. [19] [20] Intel released details of Ice Lake during Intel Architecture Day in December 2018, stating that the Sunny Cove core Ice Lake would be focusing on single-thread performance, new instructions, and scalability improvements.

  8. Memory management unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_management_unit

    A 68451 MMU, which could be used with the Motorola 68010. A memory management unit (MMU), sometimes called paged memory management unit (PMMU), [1] is a computer hardware unit that examines all memory references on the memory bus, translating these requests, known as virtual memory addresses, into physical addresses in main memory.

  9. Windows Driver Frameworks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Driver_Frameworks

    Windows Driver Frameworks (WDF, formerly Windows Driver Foundation), is a set of Microsoft tools and libraries that aid in the creation of device drivers for Windows 2000 and later versions of Windows. It complements Windows Driver Model, abstracting away much of the boilerplate complexity in writing Windows drivers.
