UNIT -4

VIRTUAL MEMORY AND FILE SHARING INTERFACE


TOPICS
• Memory Management
• Virtual memory
• Demand Paging
• Copy on Write
• Page Replacement
• Frames
• Allocation of Frames
• Thrashing
• File Concepts
• Access Method
• Directory Structure
• File System Mounting
• File Sharing
• Protection
MEMORY MANAGEMENT
• Allocate and de-allocate memory before and after process execution.
• To keep track of used memory space by processes.
• To minimize fragmentation issues.
• To proper utilization of main memory.
• To maintain data integrity while executing of process.
VIRTUAL MEMORY
• Virtual memory is a memory management technique used by
operating systems to give the appearance of a large, continuous block
of memory to applications, even if the physical memory (RAM) is
limited.
• The main objective of virtual memory is to support
multiprogramming, The main advantage that virtual memory provides
is, a running process does not need to be entirely in memory
VIRTUAL MEMORY
ADVANTAGE OF VIRTUAL MEMORY
• By using virtual memory many applications or programs can be executed at a
time.
• Main memory has limited space but you can increase and decrease the size
of virtual memory by yourself.
• Users can run large programs that have a size greater than the main memory
• The data which is common in memory can be shared between RAM and
virtual memory
• CPU utilization can be increased because more processes can reside in the
main memory
• The cost of buying extra RAM is saved by using virtual memory
DIS
ADVANTAGE OF
VIRTUAL MEMORY
• Virtual memory tends to slow down your computer because the
speed of the hard drive is less than RAM
• Switching between applications takes more time
• As virtual memory allocates space on the hard drive so for user use
the hard drive space becomes less
• The overall performance of the system is affected
• The algorithm for virtual memory is difficult to implemen
TYPES OF VIRTUAL MEMORY
• Demand paging

• Demand segmentation
