This article explores the intricacies of Page Table Entries (PTE), the Memory Management Unit (MMU), and their roles in CPU memory operations. Highlighting the distinction between hits and misses, we discuss how virtual addresses (VA) are translated to physical addresses (PA) and the functions of L1 cache in optimizing data access. Insight into PTEA interactions is provided, illustrating how the system handles memory requests, optimization strategies, and performance implications in modern processors.
