4Virtual memory — This article is about the computational technique. For the TBN game show, see Virtual Memory (game show). Virtual memory combines active RAM and inactive memory in disk form into a large range of contiguous addresses. In computing, virtual memory …
5Memory address — A digital computer s memory, more specifically main memory, consists of many memory locations, each having a memory address, a number, analogous to a street address, at which computer programs store (except when the address is in mask ROM) and… …
6Memory protection — is a way to control memory access rights on a computer, and is a part of most modern operating systems. The main purpose of memory protection is to prevent a process from accessing memory that has not been allocated to it. This prevents a bug… …
7Address space — In computing, an address space defines a range of discrete addresses, each of which may correspond to a physical or virtual memory register, a network host, peripheral device, disk sector or other logical or physical entity. A memory address… …
8Memory management — is the act of managing computer memory. The essential requirement of memory management is to provide ways to dynamically allocate portions of memory to programs at their request, and freeing it for reuse when no longer needed. This is critical to …
9Memory segmentation — is the division of computer memory into segments or sections. Segments or sections are also used in object files of compiled programs when they are linked together into a program image, or the image is loaded into memory. In a computer system… …
10Virtual address space — (abbreviated VAS) is a memory mapping mechanism available in modern operating systems such as OpenVMS, UNIX, Linux, and Windows NT.OverviewVirtual memory is easiest to comprehend if one thinks in terms of the VAS, and not the physical memory of… …
