COMPUTER FUNDAMENTALS

Detailed explanation-1: -Memory management strives to optimize memory usage so the CPU can efficiently access the instructions and data it needs to execute the various processes. Diagram illustrates how primary, secondary and cache memory relate to one other in terms of size and speed.

Detailed explanation-2: -The memory management function keeps track of the status of each memory location, either allocated or free. It determines how memory is allocated among competing processes, deciding which gets memory, when they receive it, and how much they are allowed.

Detailed explanation-3: -RAM (random access memory) is a computer’s short-term memory, where the data that the processor is currently using is stored. Your computer can access RAM memory much faster than data on a hard disk, SSD, or other long-term storage device, which is why RAM capacity is critical for system performance.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Memory Optimization optimizes the physical memory usage of running processes on computers in your environment. With Memory Optimization enabled, Workspace Control automatically releases: reserved physical memory that is no longer used by a recently launched application.
