One embodiment of the present invention provides a method of memory
management. Within the present embodiment, a page register along with
supporting logic allows a mode to be selected by a processor at the same
time it specifies a particular memory page. The selected mode defines
what the subsequent use of the specified memory page will be. For
example, this method may decrease overhead when moving between different
memory pages by providing a mode that automatically returns to a previous
page after a specified page has been accessed.
