Abstract: A wireless mobile device includes a graphic processing unit (GPU) that has a system memory management unit (MMU) for saving and restoring system MMU translation contexts. The system MMU is coupled to a memory and the GPU. The system MMU includes a set of hardware resources. The hardware resources may be context banks, with each of the context banks having a set of hardware registers. The system MMU also includes a hardware controller that is configured to restore a hardware resource associated with an access stream of content issued by an execution thread of the GPU. The associated hardware resource may be restored from the memory into a physical hardware resource when the hardware resource associated with the access stream of content is not stored within one of the hardware resources.

Abstract: In the various aspects, virtualization techniques may be used to improve performance and reduce the amount of power consumed by selectively enabling a hypervisor operating on a computing device during sandbox sessions. In the various aspects, a high-level operating system may allocate memory such that its intermediate physical addresses are equal to the physical addresses. When the hypervisor is disabled, the hypervisor may suspend second stage translations from intermediate physical addresses to physical addresses. During a sandbox session, the hypervisor may be enabled and resume performing second stage translations.
