Question
A certain computer provides its users with a virtual-memory space of 232 bytes. The computer has 218 bytes of physical memory. The virtual memory is implemented by paging, and the page size is 4096 bytes. A user process generates the virtual address 11123456
5.1 Explain how the system establishes the corresponding physical location. Distinguish between software and hardware operations.

- How can virtual memory be managed using explicit memory mapping and calls?arrow_forwardEven for a single individual, persistently dispersed memories have both advantages and disadvantages.arrow_forwardMain Memory (MM) and Central Processing Unit are important resources of the computer system that must be carefully managed. The part of Operating System (OS) that manages the memory is called Memory Manager. 'Partition' is a memory management scheme, which allocates processes in MM into a unique fixed-size partition; each partition contains exactly one process. When a partition is free, the OS selects a process from the input queue and loads it into the free partition; when the process terminates, the partition becomes available; a free partition is called 'hole'. Please, reply to the following questions by giving your own ORIGINAL and UNIQUE answers: a) Draw a picture of the Main Memory (MM) divided into A 'assigned partitions' and B 'holes': fix your values for A and B1, and draw the corresponding MM layout. In the following, Pi, Pj and Pk are three processes residing in MM b) Considering the 7 states diagram, answer to the following questions: 1) Can Pi be in the 'New' state? Why?…arrow_forward
