memory management:

• Goal:
  • to keep many processes in memory simultaneously to allow multiprogramming.
• Technique:
  • Virtual memory
    • allows the execution of processes that are not completely in memory
• major advantage of virtual memory:
  • programs can be larger than physical memory
• Virtual memory abstracts main memory into extremely large, uniform array of storage, separating logical memory as viewed by the programmer from physical memory
