1. A memory access method for use in a memory management unit (MMU) of a multi-processor computer system having a plurality of interconnected central processing units (CPU's) controlled by the same operating system and MMU, the method comprising: A) initiating a memory access instruction concerning a selected virtual address having an associated context identifier; B) searching a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) for a TLB entry having the selected virtual address; C) wherein a TLB entry having the selected virtual address is found in the TLB: accessing an associated physical address translation from the TLB entry and executing the memory access instruction; D) where the a TLB entry having the selected virtual address is NOT found in the TLB: i) determining whether a translation table entry (TTE) corresponding with the selected virtual address is available in secondary memory assets of the system to have memory access instructions performed thereon, E) wherein the TTE is available: i) accessing the TTE from the secondary memory assets; ii) updating at least one of the TLB and the secondary memory assets with information from the TTE; and iii) returning to A) initiating a memory access instruction; and F) wherein said testing determines that the TTE is not available: i) selectively pausing the method until the TTE becomes available; and ii) returning to A) initiating a memory access instruction.
