Abstract: Providing memory management unit (MMU) partitioned translation caches, and related apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media. In this regard, an apparatus comprising an MMU is provided. The MMU comprises a translation cache providing a plurality of translation cache entries defining address translation mappings. The MMU further comprises a partition descriptor table providing a plurality of partition descriptors defining a corresponding plurality of partitions each comprising one or more translation cache entries of the plurality of translation cache entries. The MMU also comprises a partition translation circuit configured to receive a memory access request from a requestor. The partition translation circuit is further configured to determine a translation cache partition identifier (TCPID) of the memory access request, identify one or more partitions of the plurality of partitions based on the TCPID, and perform the memory access request on a translation cache entry of the one or more partitions.

Abstract: Providing memory management functionality using aggregated memory management units (MMUs), and related apparatuses and methods are disclosed. In one aspect, an aggregated MMU is provided, comprising a plurality of input data paths including each including plurality of input transaction buffers, and a plurality of output paths each including a plurality of output transaction buffers. Some aspects of the aggregated MMU additionally provide one or more translation caches and/or one or more hardware page table walkers The aggregated MMU further includes an MMU management circuit configured to retrieve a memory address translation request (MATR) from an input transaction buffer, perform a memory address translation operation based on the MATR to generate a translated memory address field (TMAF), and provide the TMAF to an output transaction buffer. The aggregated MMU also provides a plurality of output data paths, each configured to output transactions with resulting memory address translations.
