MultiProcessor Specification

4.4.1System Address Space Mapping Entries

System Address Space Mapping entries define the system addresses that are visible on a particular bus. Each bus defined in the Base Table can have any number of System Address Space Mapping entries included in the Extended Table. Thus, individual buses can be configured to support different address ranges, thereby decreasing the amount of bus traffic on a given bus and increasing the overall system performance. Each consecutive address range that is usable by the operating system to access devices on a given bus has a System Address Space Mapping entry. Figure 4-9shows the format of each entry, and Table 4-14explains each field. See also Appendix E, for more information.
