What does resolving memory mean ?
Context: Resolving any virtual memory access without the help of the TLB requires three separate main memory accesses.
Thanks.

"Resolving" is a fairly common english word which essentially means "to tie up loose ends or complete properly" but has some other nuances (look here). I do not think it has any special meaning in computer programming, so that one sentence is not much context to work with.
C programming resources:
GNU C Function and Macro Index -- glibc reference manual
The C Book -- nice online learner guide
Current ISO draft standard
CCAN -- new CPAN like open source library repository
3 (different) GNU debugger tutorials: #1 -- #2 -- #3
cpwiki -- our wiki on sourceforge
thanks.
Your definition helped me understand it.
I had previously looked in dictionary.com but that did not help me much.
In my opinion, use of the the word "resolve" in this context is computerese. It means to "convert or transform" (that part is definition #4) into a physical memory address from the virtual address.
If a linking process complains about being unable to resolve a symbol, it means it can not find it.
When someone is talking about how to resolve memory leaks, they are really saying "how to solve/fix". The word is used all over the place.
