We propose dynamic aggregation of virtual tags in TLB to increase its coverage and improve the overall miss ratio during address translation. Dynamic aggregation exploits both the spatial and temporal locality inherent in most application programs. To support dynamic aggregation, we introduce the use of ternary-CAM (TCAM) cells at the second-level TLB. The modified TLB architecture results in an increase of TLB reach without additional CAM entries. We also adopt bulk prefetching concurrently with aggregation technique to enhance the benefits due to spatial locality. The performance of the proposed TLB architecture is evaluated using SPEC2000 benchmarks concentrating on those that show high data TLB miss ratios. Simulation results indicate a...
