Detailed explanation-1: -Memory management is the process of controlling and coordinating a computer’s main memory. It ensures that blocks of memory space are properly managed and allocated so the operating system (OS), applications and other running processes have the memory they need to carry out their operations.
Detailed explanation-2: -The operating system (OS) manages all of the software and hardware on the computer. It performs basic tasks such as file, memory and process management, handling input and output, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers.
Detailed explanation-3: -RAM (Random Access Memory) is the hardware in a computing device where the operating system (OS), application programs and data in current use are kept so they can be quickly reached by the device’s processor. RAM is the main memory in a computer.
Detailed explanation-4: -Random access memory (RAM) is the primary internal memory of the central processing unit (CPU). Your electronic device uses it for storing temporary data.
Detailed explanation-5: -Paging, and swapping, segmentation and compaction are modern computers’ four main memory management techniques. Swapping is the best technique for memory management because it provides the most efficient use of system resources.
