A processor including a virtualization system of the processor with a memory virtualization support system to map a reference to guest-physical memory made by guest software executable on a virtual machine which in turn is executable on a host machin…

An application binary interface includes linkage structures for interfacing a binary application program to a digital computer. A function in a relocatable shared object module obtains the absolute address of a Global Offset Table (GOT) in the module…

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Solid-state memory devices encompass rewritable non-volatile memory devices which may use electronic circuitry for storing data. Currently, solid-state memory devices start replacing conventional storage devices such as ha…

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventional NAND Flash memories move data in the background to write over an entire span uniformly. The background data movement is called wear leveling. A process performing the background data movement is often referred…

An embodiment provides a virtual address cache memory including: a TLB virtual page memory configured to, when a rewrite to a TLB occurs, rewrite entry data; a data memory configured to hold cache data using a virtual page tag or a page offset as a c…

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to data transfer across domains, and more particularly, to data transfer across a number of different protection domains using page remapping. Operating systems that utilize different protecti…

Aspects of the present invention are directed at centrally managing the allocation of memory to executable images in a way that inhibits malware from identifying the location of the executable image. Moreover, performance improvements are implemented…

A processor, capable of operation in a host machine, including memory management logic to support a plurality of memory types for a physical memory access by the processor, and virtualization support logic to determine a host memory type for a refere…
