About this document
Understanding Memory Abstraction by Tu Tu is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Memory management abstracts physical memory into address spaces to allow multiple processes to run simultaneously. It uses techniques like base/limit registers, swapping, bitmaps, and linked lists to allocate and track memory for processes. Base/limit registers give each process its own private address space by adding the base register value to relative addresses and checking against the limit. Swapping moves processes between memory and disk when space is low. Bitmaps and linked lists help find free memory
