20080215815SYSTEM AND METHOD OF IMPROVING TASK SWITCHING AND PAGE TRANSLATION PERFORMANCE UTILIZING A MULTILEVEL TRANSLATION LOOKASIDE BUFFER - A system and method of improved task switching in a data processing system. First, a first-level cache memory casts out an invalidated page table entry and an associated first page directory base address to a second-level cache memory. Then, the second-level cache memory determines if a task switch has occurred. If a task switch has not occurred, first-level cache memory sends the invalidated page table entry to a current running task directory. If a task switch has occurred, first-level cache memory loads from the second-level cache directory a collection of page table entries related to a new task to enable improved task switching without requiring access to a page table stored in main memory to retrieve the collection of page table entries.09-04-2008
