caching - MMU and Cache access -
currently exploring mips microaptiv mmu architecture.
i looks pretty simple has 1 thing can't understand , isn't explained in docs.
here example of fmt based mmu:
fmt takes vpn , returns ppn.
cache simultaneously takes vpn , returns ppn well.
so question is: need comparator for?
if found ppn in ram cache why need compare fmt?
my understanding incomplete here.
