Hmm, "the process need update" looks right to me (compare "the process need not update") as "need" is used as a modal verb in this sentence. Alternatively "the process needs to update" could be used (with "need" as a main verb, and "to" then). I'm not a native English speaker though, so I might be missing a usage subtlety here. NB I'd be in favour of capitalising "PTE" and "TLB" consistently throughout though as the norm is with acronyms. Maciej
