ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for implementing virtual memory having multiple selected page sizes are provided. A virtual address includes a map index and a frame offset. A selector mechanism receives the virtual address frame offset and generates an offset and index. A frame map table indexes the virtual address map index and the selector generated index and generates a base address. The frame map table generated base address and the selector generated offset are combined to provide a physical address.
