the process of controlling and

coordinating a computer's main memory.

used to keep track of the status of memory locations, whether it is free or allocated.

permits computers with a small amount of main memory to execute

programs larger than the size or amount of available memory.

responsible for protecting the memory allocated to each

process from being corrupted by another process.

enable sharing of memory space between processes.

a part of the memory

manager called the __________ assigns that block to the program.

memory management involves components that physically

store data, such as RAM (random access memory) chips, memory caches,

and flash-based SSDs(solid-state drives).

memory management involves the allocation (and constant

reallocation) of specific memory blocks to individual programs as user demands

change.

memory management ensures the availability of adequate memory

for the objects and data structures of each running program at all times.

If memory location known a priori, absolute code can be

generated; must recompile code if starting location changesCompile time:
