Simple TLB (Translation lookaside buffer) realization on verilog.

(S)TLB

This TLB implements a 64 entries, 8-way set associative, cache with PLRU replacement policy. The second level TLB (STLB) implements 12-way set associative cache with 96 entries inside, managing by ${(MRU+1)}_{\%3}$ $PLRU_4$ policy.

MMU

MMU (memory management unit): it behaves like memory controller. In this way, providing connections and behavior managing between PMU, TLB and STLB.

PMU

PMU (performance management unit): provides general statistical collection capabilities generated by both caches.

Inclusion policy

• First level miss is followed by checking STLB.
• Hit in the second level causes insert to the TLB.
• Miss in the second level is followed by insertions to both levels.

PCID feature

This set contains with PCID (process context identifiers) feature for PTE is used by Intel to improve performance of paging structure.
