FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Memory management is the functionality of an operating system which handles or manages primary memory and moves processes back and forth between main memory and disk during execution. Memory management keeps track of each and every memory location, regardless of either it is allocated to some process or it is free.

Detailed explanation-2: -The operating system uses several software techniques to manage memory. All memory areas, allocated or available, are preceded and followed by structures known as memory links.

Detailed explanation-3: -When that happens, the OS turns to virtual memory, a type of pseudo-memory allocated from a storage drive that’s been set up to emulate the computer’s main memory. If memory demand exceeds the physical memory’s capacity, the OS can automatically allocate virtual memory to a process as it would physical memory.

Detailed explanation-4: -Shared memory is a faster inter process communication system. It allows cooperating processes to access the same pieces of data concurrently. It speeds up the computation power of the system and divides long tasks into smaller sub-tasks and can be executed in parallel. Modularity is achieved in a shared memory system.
