Abstract
- A hardware that takes in Virtual Address and converts it into Physical Address using Page Table. This is what powers Virtual Memory
Attention
A Page Fault is raised when MMU is unable to find a particular Memory Page in its page table
Translation Lookaside Buffer
- Part of Memory Management Unit (MMU) that caches the mappings of Virtual Address and Physical Address
Much faster than memory access
Translation Lookaside Buffer is a component of the CPU, so the access speed is much faster than accessing the main memory where the Page Table is stored.
