The Real Page Number (RPN) and Extended Real Page Number (ERPN) fields of the matching TLB entry
provide the page number portion of the real address. Let n=32–log
2
(page size in bytes) where page size is
specified by the SIZE field of the matching TLB entry. Bits n:31 of the effective address (the “page offset”) are
appended to bits 0:n–1 of the RPN field, and bits 0:3 of the ERPN field are prepended to this value to produce
the 36-bit real address (that is, RA = ERPN
0:3
|| RPN
0:n–1
|| EA
n:31
).
Figure 5-2 illustrates the address translation process, while Table 5-3 defines the relationship between the
different page sizes and the real address formation.
