Memory Managment

Memory Managment

1. Memory management store the data and programs that are in use. This allows the programs to be stored in memory more efficiently and easily. Without it other programs may start to change the data of others.

2. Paging

   • Paging cuts programs in segments of equal size. One of the units is one page. The operating system will use a page table to be able to track their storage location

3. Segmentation

   • segmentation will split a program to fit into the memory locations available. This is a logical split

4. Some operating systems will use pages above the average size (4Kb) because it can make the storage of larger file more efficient because they wont have to split up. However if the file is smaller that the page size then space is going to be wasted storing the file making it less efficient
