A Case for Alternative Nested Paging Models for Virtualized Systems
Address translation often emerges as a critical performance bottleneck for virtualized systems and has recently been the impetus for hardware paging mechanisms. These mechanisms ap...

Translation caching: skip, don't walk (the page table)
This paper explores the design space of MMU caches that accelerate virtual-to-physical address translation in processor architectures, such as x86-64, that use a radix tree page t...

Accelerating two-dimensional page walks for virtualized systems
Nested paging is a hardware solution for alleviating the software memory management overhead imposed by system virtualization. Nested paging complements existing page walk hardwar...
