<p>1 revision(s)</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>From drawing a map of the memory used by a program written in C, it looks like all the computer&#039;s memory is being used. This can&#039;t be true, because other programs are running at the same time and using other parts of memory. It turns out that an operating system, by taking advantage of a certain feature of the processor, can hide the actual memory location of a program and pretend like all programs are running in the same place. This is virtual memory. Here are some sites that I found helpful in explaining this:<br /> <br /> [http://webster.cs.ucr.edu/AoA/Windows/HTML/MemoryArchitecturea3.html#1023797 Virtual Memory, Protection, and Paging]<br /> <br /> [http://lwn.net/Articles/253361/ Virtual Memory]</div>
