MANAGING REUSE INFORMATION WITH MULTIPLE TRANSLATION STAGES

Address translation and caching is managed using a processor that includes at least one CPU configured to run a hypervisor at a first access level and at least one guest operating system at a second access level. The managing includes: at the second access level, translating from virtual addresses to intermediate physical; at the second access level, determining reuse information for ranges of virtual addresses based on estimated reuse of data stored within a virtual address space; at the first access level, translating from the intermediate physical addresses to physical addresses; at the first access level, determining reuse information for ranges of intermediate physical addresses based on estimated reuse of data stored within an intermediate physical address space; and processing reuse information determined at different access levels to store cache lines in selected portions of a first cache.
