    Abstract: An input/output memory management unit includes a control logic circuit and a device table entry valid bit array. The control logic circuit provides physical addresses in response to virtual addresses of memory access requests from a plurality of input/output devices. The device table entry valid bit array stores a plurality of valid bits corresponding to different ones of the plurality of input/output devices. The control logic circuit accesses a first valid bit corresponding to a first input/output device from the device table entry valid bit array, and selectively accesses a device table in a system memory in response to a state of the valid bit.
