Memory Management<br />

Virtual Memory<br />

– Paging<br />

» On computers with virtual memory, the virtual<br />

address is routed to a Memory Management<br />

Unit (MMU) which maps the virtual address<br />

onto a physical address (and then asserts that<br />

address on the bus)<br />

» The virtual address space is divided into units<br />

called pages<br />

» The corresponding units in physical memory<br />

are called page frames<br />

» Pages and page frames are always the same<br />
