About this document
Logical vs Physical Address Explained by Kannan Sargunan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the differences between logical/virtual and physical address spaces. A logical/virtual address is generated by the CPU and mapped to a physical address by the memory management unit (MMU) using a relocation register. Swapping involves temporarily moving a process out of main memory to a backing store to make room for a higher priority process, then swapping it back in. Memory fragmentation, both internal and external, can occur when allocated memory is larger than requested.
