Patent GB-2507922-A (GB)
Title: Device and method for converting logical address to physical address
Inventor: TANAKA HIROYUKI
IPC: G06F12/109
Filed: 2012-07-27
Abstract: In the present invention, conversion from a logical address to a real address is carried out safely and without reducing performance. In an environment in which a CPU (10) causes a hypervisor (191) to run and, under such control, guest partitions (192a-192c) are run, a conversion command (LTOR command) for converting a logical address that is executable from a guest partition to a real address is added to the CPU (10). If the guest partition (192a) designates a logical address and executes an LTOR command, the CPU (10) converts such logical address to a real address; however, the CPU does not return the real address to the guest partition (192a) as is but rather returns an encoded real address. With this configuration, the guest partition (192a), without knowing the real address, passes the encoded real address to an accelerator (20) via a bus (60), and the accelerator (20) coverts the encoded real address to a real address and accesses a memory.

The steps of depositing the photo-resist material and patterning the photo-resist material may be performed in sequence using CMOS photolithography and etching steps. The resulting semiconductor device is then subjected to further processing steps which ensure that a dielectric membrane and a metal structure within the membrane are formed in the patterned region over the dielectric region. The microhotplate may be used in a gas sensor or as an IR emitter.
