The Translation Lookahead Buffer (TLB) is a cache for paging addresses.

Since it is a cache, it shares many of the design issues of the CPU cache, such as associativity level.

This section shall describe a simplified fully associative TLB with 4 single address entries. Note that like other caches, real TLBs are not usually fully associative.
