The performance of Translation Lookaside Buffers is a very important factor in overall program performance, with TLB misses often representing 10% or more of program runtime. Despite this, their design issues remained largely unexamined as the transition from single-core to multi-core processors occurred. This talk will describe my group's recent body of work to characterize and optimize TLB be...
