Abstract: A hinter data processing apparatus is provided with processing circuitry that determines that an execution context to be executed on a hintee data processing apparatus will require a virtual-to-physical address translation. Hint circuitry transmits a hint to a hintee data processing apparatus to prefetch a virtual-to-physical address translation in respect of an execution context of the further data processing apparatus. A hintee data processing apparatus is also provided with receiving circuitry that receives a hint from a hinter data processing apparatus to prefetch a virtual-to-physical address translation in respect of an execution context of the further data processing apparatus. Processing circuitry determines whether to follow the hint and, in response to determining that the hint is to be followed, causes the virtual-to-physical address translation to be prefetched for the execution context of the data processing apparatus. In both cases, the hint comprises an identifier of the execution context.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to systems, devices and/or processes for runtime linking of software component function implementations, and relates more particularly to linking particular function implementations based at least in part on a current execution environment.
