Abstract
A method and apparatus determines whether there is an invalid address translation entry in a first translation look-aside buffer. If there is an invalid address translation entry in the first translation look-aside buffer, an invalid address translation entry in the first translation look-aside buffer is replaced. If there is no invalid address translation entry in the first translation look-aside buffer, a method and apparatus determines whether there is an invalid address translation entry in a second translation look-aside buffer. If there is an invalid address translation entry in the second translation look-aside buffer, an invalid address translation entry in the second translation look-aside buffer is replaced.
