Set-associative mapped TLBs are also found in commercial products.

An essential requirement is that the contents of the TLB be coherent with the contents of the page table in the main memory.

When the operating system changes the contents of the page table it must simultaneously invalidate the corresponding entries in the TLB. One of the control bits in the TLB is provided for this purpose.
