Segmented, Paged and Virtual Memory

Memory management is one of the main functions of an operating system. This video is an overview of the paged and segmented memory management systems. It describes how a segmented memory management system employs segments of different sizes, which can result in fragmented free space and prevent large processes from accessing the memory very often. This is compared with a paged memory management system in which small equal sized pages are used instead. Concepts such as logical and physical memory are explained, as well as the use of secondary storage to provide virtual memory.

my teacher just said: paging is dividing the memory into equal spaces.. and then i had to figure out what happens from this amazing vid... it's really fun when you understand how it works not just telling me stuff to memorize like a memory card

[@jirihorak2924]

Not exactly. The segmented memory can be also virtualized. The video shows it in a way segments must follow each other, even though it is usually the same as with pages, the only difference is external fragmentation and internal fragmentation (=unused space in a segment) problem at once with segments (tries to balance both types out) or internal fragmentation only with pages.

so correct me if im wrong! segments are like those mentioned in say,x86 architecture ie code,data,stack etc?and at one time one process's one/more segments can be in physical ram(i mean is the ram concerned about "segments",which one!!,or it just "has the data"?) and these segments are atomic? but at 2:11 you say process is atomic?? im stupid but please explain this to me,ive got everything jumbled in my head one bonus question::windows has page file,so it def uses paging.what about segmentation?

may I ask how is modern os deal with memory management? I mean are they using pure paging or segmented paging. and also they're all hardware implements right?

Your video is great, thank you. But I do not understand what does logical memory store? I mean, the logical memory part is not so clear. Sorry for the criticism.

[@ComputerScienceLessons]

logical memory is not real!!! The operating system (E.G. Windows) fools each program into thinking it is the only thing running on the computer. It fools each program into thinking it has all of the memory to itself. Logical memory is one program's view of the memory - it is how an individual program sees the memory. Physical memory on the other hand is what is really going on - that is, lots of different programs sharing the memory (oblivious of each other). :)KD

[@JKSmith-qs2ii]

Excellent video! How is the address degined in paged memory? Is it supplied with a page number and an offset within that page? How does that work if some of the program is in memory, and other parts in virtual memory?

[@ComputerScienceLessons]

A memory address includes a column address and a row address, and more! My playlist on Random Access Memory goes into more details about this: kzbin.info/aero/PLTd6ceoshpreE_xQfQ-akUMU1sEtthFdB Page replacement techniques depend on the operating system. There's a good starter article on Wikipedia about this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Page_replacement_algorithm. I hope this helps :)KD

Would there be a disadvantage for having a higher page size, 1gb for instance.

[@ComputerScienceLessons]

It takes longer to swap large amounts of data in an out. You might also swap out some smaller programs and data unnecessarily, then need them again immediately. There's definitely a balancing act to be performed here. For windows based computers, someone decided 4KB was optimal :)KD

[@KabelkowyJoe]

BUT in order to work CPU must have access must be provided to page list where each currently running process is loaded to translate adresses, 368 support this, 286 only segmented, 88/86 none only real mode, page size, segment size is defined in hardware

Thanks Here , 6:04 youre talking about the logical adress (logical memory) ? The logical memory is not necessary contiguous ?

[@ComputerScienceLessons]

Logical memory is smoke and mirrors! It is simply the way one program sees the memory. Each program is made to believe that it is the only thing running on the computer, and that it has all of the memory to itself. (thanks to the operating system). :)KD
