How memory paging are assigned to CPU caches

Post by Younis »

Hi
I’m looking at how memory pages are assigned to CPU cache sets. I know that RAM blocks are assigned to certain lines in CPU cache sets. So, I want to the mechanism to map pages to the cache. For example, when a process has a number of memory pages, these pages how will interact with CPU cache.
Regards

The page cache is called the TLB, you can look that up.
