5.3.7 Dstream TB Address Space Number Registers 0 and 1 – DTB_ASN0,1
The Dstream translation buffer address space number registers (DTB_ASN0 and 
DTB_ASN1) are write-only registers that should be written with the address space 
number (ASN) of the current process. Figure 5–30 shows the Dstream translation buffer 
address space number registers 0 and 1.

5.3.8 Memory Management Status Register – MM_STAT
The memory management status register (MM_STAT) is a read-only register.
When a Dstream TB miss or fault occurs, information about the error is latched in 
MM_STAT. MM_STAT is not updated when a LD_VPTE  gets a DTB miss instruction. 
Figure 5–31 shows the memory management status register.
Figure 5–31 Memory Management Status Register
Table 5–18 describes the memory management status register fields.

RO
This bit is set when a Dcache tag parity error occurred during the 
initial tag probe of a load or store instruction. The error created a 
synchronous fault to the D_FAULT PALcode entry point and is 
correctable. The virtual address associated with the error is avail-
able in the VA register.

Opcode of the instruction that caused the error.
HW_LD is displayed as 3 and HW_ST is displayed as 7.

RO
This bit is set when a fault-on-write error occurs during a write 
transaction and PTE[FOW] was set.
