TLB miss

A lookup that fails to find the required cached address translation. A successful refill can leave the memory page resident throughout and cause no page fault.
For process A's resident virtual page 4 in address translation, discarding only its translation lookaside buffer entry makes the next read a TLB miss while its contents remain in page frame 13. Page replacement would instead remove the resident memory page; these operations invalidate different kinds of cached information.
