What are your thoughts on virtual memory in terms of operating systems? |
|
Answer» Virtual Memory is a storage allocation method that lets you address SECONDARY memory as if it were the main memory. Program-generated ADDRESSES are automatically converted to machine addresses, which are different from the addresses used by the memory system to designate PHYSICAL storage places. The QUANTITY of secondary memory available is defined by the number of main storage sites available rather than the actual number of main storage locations, and the capacity of virtual storage is restricted by the computer system's ADDRESSING scheme. |
