Managing Memory
Cards in this deck (2)
- 1Generally, what is Memory Management and the Two Types?> Allocates different parts of memory to each program, open file, etc.
> Each of these parts may change in size whilst being used, thus the amount of memory they take up must be managed
> This is done through paging or segmentation, which split the parts into smaller sections - 2What is Virtual Memory?> Used when RAM is becoming full
> Pages of inactive items in RAM are temporarily swapped to permanent storage to make room for active items
> Due to the much slower speed of permanent storage, and the physical division, this can dramatically slow down the computer
