Virtual memory
Virtual memory is a component of working framework that permits a PC to adjust for deficiencies of physical memory by incidentally exchanging pages of information from arbitrary access memory to plate stockpiling. Genuine/physical memory exists on ram chips inside the PC. Virtual memory as its name recommends doesn't physically exists on a memory chip. It is an enhancement system
You can consider virtual memory as a substitute arrangement of memory location. Projects utilize these virtual address as opposed to genuine locations to store directions and information. At the point when the project is really executed, the virtual locations are changed over into genuine memory addresses
At the point when a procedure runs, it is given its own one of a kind virtual location space, which is a piece of memory locations. The begin and end of this location space is not as a matter of course the same as how it is really put away in the physical location space in the genuine memory. Some mapping needs to go ahead in the middle. This is the occupation of the memory administration unit, which is a piece of the CPU and sits between the CPU and the framework transport. All memory calls between the CPU and fundamental memory experience the MMU where they

The working framework will then set up 120mb of virtual memory, and will utilize a project called the virtual memory director (VMM) to deal with that 120mb. The VMM will make a record on the hard plate that is 70mb (120-50) in the size to represent the additional memory that is required. The OS will now continue to address memory there's truly just 50mb. So to the OS, it now shows up as though the full 120mb really exists. It is the obligation of the VMM to manage the way that there is just 50mb of genuine
