How to access memory more than 4GB by using 32bit ISA?

Assuming I have 8GB memory, and a single register size is 32bit. How can I load the data from the memory?  If there are solutions, Could you please write them in MIPS?.

  • Some 32-bit A profile cores support LPAE (Large physical address extension).  LPAE allows for physical addresses to be greater than 32-bit.  Meaning that while at any one point in time you are limited to 4GiB of visible memory, you can have more memory than that in total.  But I don't think this what you meant.
