Chapter 4 -- Memory Management[edit]

  1. Basic Memory Management
    1. Mono-programming without swapping or paging
    2. Multi-programing with fixed partitions
      • Fixed memory partitions with separate job queues
      • Fixed memory partitions with a single job queue
    3. Relocation and protection
  2. Swapping
    • Allocating space for a growing data segment
    • Allocating space for a growing stack and data segment
    1. Memory management with bitmaps
    2. Memory management with linked lists
      • First fit
      • Next fit
      • Best fit
      • Worst fit
      • Quick fit
      • Separate lists for processes and holes
        • Sorted lists by size
  3. Virtual memory
    • Overlays
    1. Paging
      • Virtual addresses
        • Virtual address space
        • Physical addresses
      • MMU -- Memory Management Unit
      • Pages
        • Virtual page
        • Page frame
      • Page fault
    2. Page tables
      • Page number
      • Offset
      • Register page tables
      • Memory page tables
      • Multi-level page tables
      • Structure of a page table entry
        • Page frame number
        • Present / absent
        • Protection
        • Modified
        • Referenced
        • Caching disabled
    3. TLB -- Table lookaside buffer
      • Locality of reference
      • TLB fault
    4. Inverted Page Tables
  4. Page replacement algorithms
    1. Optimal page replacement algorithm
    2. NRU -- Not recently used page replacement algorithm
      • Page classes
    3. FIFO -- First-in first-out page replacement algorithm
    4. Second change page replacement algorithm
    5. Clock page replacement algorithm
    6. LRU -- Least recently used page replacement algorithm
    7. Simulating LRU in software
      • NFU -- Not frequently used
