Abstract
In an address translation device (11) used in combination with a main memory (12) in translating an input virtual address into an output real address, an address translation buffer (15) is for memorizing not only a plurality of buffer virtual addresses (BVA) and a plurality of buffer real addresses (BRA) corresponding to respective buffer virtual addresses but also buffer presence bits (BP) corresponding to respective buffer real addresses to indicate presence or absence of a datum of a memory real address in the main memory in correspondence to each of the buffer real addresses. A comparison control circuit (17) compares the input virtual address with a particular one of the buffer virtual addresses, that corresponds to the input virtual address to make the address translation buffer produce, as the output real address, a particular one of the buffer real addresses, which corresponds to the particular buffer virtual address when the input virtual address coincides with the particular buffer virtual address.
