Summary:Modern workloads suffer high execution-time overhead due to page-based virtual memory. The authors introduce range translations that map arbitrary-sized virtual memory ranges to contiguous physical memory pages while retaining the flexibility of paging. A range translation reduces address translation to a range lookup that delivers near zero virtual memory overhead.
