| Abstract(in English) | Heterogeneous multi-core architecture, in which processor cores, memory modules, and I/O modules with various sizes, functions, and speeds are interconnected via Network-on-Chip (NoC), is one of attractive solutions for embedded systems customized for a given application set. In this paper, we propose a distributed TLB (Translation-Lookaside Buffer) mechanism for efficient memory management on the heterogeneous multi-core processors. Specifically, small-sized level-1 TLBs dedicated to each processor core and a single large-sized level-2 TLB shared by all processor cores are implemented on a chip. The level-2 TLB is accessed only when a level-1 TLB miss is incurred. Performance, area, and power of the distributed TLB mechanism can be further optimized by adjusting entry sizes of level-1 TLBs. Preliminary evaluation results show that the distributed TLB mechanism can reduce the area and power compared to single-level flat TLB architecture. |
