Abstract:
The described embodiments include a computing device that performs operations for at least one of resizing or relocating a table in a memory in the computing device. In the described embodiments, the computing device includes at least one register storing a table base address indicating an original location of an original table in the memory and a table size indicating an original size of the original table in the memory. When relocating the original table, the computing device copies, using the table base address, some or all of the entries from the original table to a new table in the memory and then updates the table base address to indicate a location of the new table in the memory. When resizing the original table, the computing device updates the table size to indicate a new size.
