What is memory management?

1. Memory management is the process of controlling and coordinating a computer's

main memory.

2. Memory management strives to optimize memory usage so the CPU can efficiently
access the instructions and data it needs to execute the various processes.

3. The objective of Memory Management process is to Improve both the utilization of

the CPU and the speed of the computer’s response to its users via main memory.
A memory ___________ is a reference to a specific memory location used at various
levels by software and hardware.

4. The _____________ subsystem is one of the key components of every computing

platform. Although the organization, speed, capacity, and supported functions of
storage vary depending on platform class, its presence is always required for
computations to be carried out.

5. Short-term memory is the earliest stage of memory. During this stage, sensory
information from the environment is stored for a very brief period of time.

6. ___________________ memory, also known as active memory, is the information we

are currently aware of or thinking about.

7. ______________ memory refers to the continuing storage of information. In Freudian

psychology, long-term memory would be called the preconscious and unconscious.
This information is largely outside of our awareness but can be called into working
memory to be used when needed.

8. Long-term memory deals with the actual hardware of a computer known as memory
chips or commonly known as ram. Memory chips are physically apart of any computer
after installation.
9. l Address is generated by CPU while a program is running. The logical address is virtual
address as it does not exist physically, therefore, it is also known as Virtual Address.
This address is used as a reference to access the physical memory location by CPU.

10. _________________ Address identifies a physical location of required data in a

memory. The user never directly deals with the physical address but can access by its
corresponding logical address. The term Physical Address Space is used for all physical
addresses corresponding to the logical addresses in a Logical address space.
