CIS 512 Week 9 Assignment 4 The
Virtual Memory Manager (VMM)
Most operating
systems use a virtual memory manager (VMM) whose responsibility is to manage
the relationship between the virtual organization of memory as seen by an
application with the physical organization of memory from the operating
system’s point of view. Virtual memory addresses must be mapped to physical
address and vice versa.
Write a four to
five (4-5) page paper in which you:
Differentiate between virtual memory and physical memory. Evaluate
the benefits gained by running applications when the operating system uses a
virtual memory manager. Analyze how virtual memory addresses get translated
into physical addresses. Analyze how a modern operating system translates
32-bit and 64-bit virtual addresses to physical addresses on the same machine. Create
a relationship diagram, using MS Visio or Dia, depicting the relationship
between virtual addresses to physical addresses. Note: The graphically depicted
solution is not included in the required page length.
