With all of this knowledge in place, we can now roughly sketch the complete control flow of memory access. In other words, when somebody asks you “what happens when a program fetches some data from memory?”, you should have a pretty good idea of all the different possibilities. See the control flow in the snippets provided in this lesson for more details; the first snippet shows what the hardware does during translation and the ...
