Multi-Level Page Tables Level 2 Common solution Tables multi-level page tables e.g., 2-level table(P6) Level 1 Table Level 1 table: 1024 entries each of which points fo a Level 2 page table Level 2 table: 1024 entries each of which points to a page
5 Multi-Level Page Tables • Common solution – multi-level page tables – e.g., 2-level table (P6) • Level 1 table: 1024 entries, each of which points to a Level 2 page table. • Level 2 table: 1024 entries, each of which points to a page Level 1 Table ... Level 2 Tables
