DEFINITION

Classification: 711/206

Translation tables (e.g., segment and page table or map):

(under subclass 203) Subject matter wherein directories (e.g., maps) are employed for converting address data in a first form (e.g., virtual, logical) to address data in a second form (e.g., physical, absolute).

(1) Note. This subclass and its indented subclasses are intended for generalized applications of tables not classifiable in the combinations above.

(2) Note. This area also provides for mechanisms for storing virtual (i.e., logical) to physical (i.e., real, absolute) address translation entries that are of general use in virtual memory.

(3) Note. This subclass will accept table walking which generally requires accesses to main memory.
