MANAGING MEMORY
Virtual memory is a technique for managing memory resources in which one uses physical memory as a cache for program code and data stored on disk. Because it provides such an intuitive model, all modern systems support virtual memory, even though the problem for which is was originally invented—running a program on memory systems smaller than the program itself—is no longer an issue.
