Read on to find out if your processor supports SLAT.
What Is SLAT?
Second Level Address Translation is a technology introduced in both Intel and AMD flavors of processors.
By doing this, Hypervisor CPU time is significantly reduced, and more memory is saved for each VM.
A TLB is a cache on the processor that contains recently used mappings from the page table.
If the TLB contains a match, the physical memory address is provided and the data is access.
Because of this buffer, the hypervisors overhead is substantially decreased.
So What?
SLAT will be required for Hyper-V in Windows 8.
How Do I Know If I Have SLAT?
when you land downloaded it you will need to extract it.
You should extract it so that coreinfo is in the root of your C:\ drive.
You need open an elevated command prompt, read “run as administrator”.
On an Intel if your processor supports SLAT it will have an asterix in the EPT row.
This is seen in the screenshot below.
On an AMD if your processor supports SLAT it will have an asterix in the NPT row.
If your processors dont support SLAT you will see a dash in the EPT or NPT rows.
it’s possible for you to download CoreInfohere.
